When I snapped this photo, I just felt that the large number of people scattered on the staircase at a usually-quiet corner of Hung Hom makes an interesting composition. I was making a run, and continued on without thinking much about that snapshot.
Only much later, when I was tidying up the photos, then I realised that something was happening. It was probably nothing serious. The moment probably passed quickly in a few seconds. Subsequently, everybody probably returned to their interrupted conversations, or whatever they were doing earlier. Just like the way I continued with my run.
But for a second, attention was drawn to a woman climbing the stairs. I tried to figure out what happened to the woman, but couldn’t really figured out what it was. Perhaps it was nothing. But the posture of the people around her showed concern.
I do hope that the incident means that people do care about each other. That we do look out for each other. That thought makes me like Hong Kong just a little better.
