In this photograph received from the South China Morning Post (SCMP) archive on May 2, 2017 and taken on May 16, 1967, protesters (R) wave the Little Red Book “The Quotations from Chairman Mao Zedong” in front of police outside the South Kowloon Magistracy in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is unrecognisable now from the city which 50 years ago was the scene of bloody riots, fuelled by resentment of colonial rule and inspired by the Cultural Revolution unfolding in China. But although memories of the bomb-strewn chaos of 1967 have faded, the city is facing a new era of turbulence as democracy activists take on Beijing and many ordinary residents still struggle to make ends meet.
