(1)半山幹德道41號A莫干生大宅。莫干生是太古買辦, 累積了大筆財富,遂於1920年代於半山干德道41號A興建一座充滿西方古典色彩,極具氣派的西式大宅。 莫家大宅的建築費用所費不菲,單是一條15呎闊的私家路已用上9,000港元,而大宅更是全港首座設有升降機的獨立大屋。 有說莫家大宅過份豪華,結果引起了太古洋行大股東施懷雅家族的注意,最終促使施懷雅家族對太古的買辦制度加以整頓。 莫幹生晚年不再居於干德道41號A大宅,由1951年起用作香港外國記者會會址. 莫家大宅為世人所熟悉, 是因為1950年代由威廉•荷頓及珍妮花•鍾絲主演的美國好萊塢電影《生死戀》曾經在大宅取景拍攝。 莫家大宅後來落入英資會德豐,最後在1960年代末拆卸改建成大型私人屋苑聯邦花園

憎人富貴厭人貧,中華人部份"傳統"之一,仇富不是如今"習慣",想起兒時,街坊隣里曾有一講法,是對"某"家族中人的"講法",,,,,也是對某富人的批評,就像如今"某傳播集團"日以繼夜係佢地的媒體"糟質"某富豪一樣,口出惡言也!
回覆刪除當時港人對某富豪有以下四句歌仔,就係講某富豪~~
損人"利"己,"欺"貧重富,"神"憎鬼厭,睇佢幾時衰收尾!
點解當時港人對呢位富豪咁有意見?原來佢發達係靠,,,,,,,!真係損人利己㗎!
呢啲係好耐好耐以前嘅故事咯!
I know which clan you are talking about, in fact a net friend of mine have send me a similar "comment" written by people at the time when that magnate died which was far more sarcastic than the one here. A few years ago there was a TV program about the plutocracy clans of Hong Kong and the grand daughter of that magnate gave an interview and talked about her memory of the family, of course she didnt mention the past history of the" family business", which I suppose is a taboo for the whole clan~~
刪除回歸前見到豪門巨宅,只有用羨慕眼光去看,
回覆刪除現今當然用相反眼光去看,甚至幻想去佔領它.
I suppose there are loads of reason why in recent years the Hong Kongers resent and even hate the rich nabobs, however, I suppose to "occupy " them is not a rational way of thinking as it contradict the basic belief of Hong Kong in which law and order should be respected and upheld in high regards~~
