This song reflects the reality that the city is monopolized by large and chained brand, and local small retail shop are disappearing.

 

 

“租值要緊  欺人太甚  小店難強忍”

“小店離開有誰知道？(不想知道)  失去時應向誰哭訴？(來上網讚好？)”

In recent year, there are many local store forced to end their business because of the high rent and different redevelopment projects. And Hong Kong people usually post their information on different social media to raise people attention. But they only rushed to those store before their closure, instead of changing their shopping habit and keep support local shops.

 

 

“全市都一樣  磨滅舊日熟悉的形象  統一賣相  冷冰無相”

“將噴泉改作連鎖店(摧毀興建)  書店騰出變時裝店(城市要變天)”

Because of the high land price, local small shop is replaced with standardise chain shop. Quality, taste and style of the product are highly standardise without any variation or connections to the consumers. Also, small shops, like bookshop or stationary shop, are not able sustain their business in the society.

 

 

“氹氹轉，繼續招呼購物團;層層閃，境況何時會逆轉”

With the increase of visitor from the mainland, they changed the habitus of Hong Kong shopping mall and market. Small shop that supplies daily needs are no longer exist or always in shortages, it highly affect the daily living of the local. So, the song end by the wish for a change to the environment in the society.
