This was the most chaotic page in Hong Kong history. While it seems like the major cause was friction between capital and labor, in fact, this was a general explosion of accumulated resentment against problems left to fester under the colonial government, such as harsh working conditions, and the growing gap between rich and poor.
這是香港殖民史上最動亂的一頁，行動的成因看似因勞資糾紛，實際上是香港人對殖民政府長久累積的不平等待遇，如苛刻的工作條件、日漸嚴重的貧富不均等問題的總爆發。
