Back to basics

Photos & text by Candice Ma

In the past, children had limited resources to enjoy themselves. They would play hide-and-seek or tag with neighbours. Nowadays, children have numerous high-tech toys, like robots and TV games. To protect their children from materialism, parents bring them to the old time favourite haunts — public parks. And children reward their parents’ goodwill by giving them their whole-hearted laughter. . . .
