Red-White-Blue fabric, first appeared in the 1960s,
was used as a cladding for the scaffolding at building sites.
It was durable and waterproof, therefore,
it was later used for producing plastic bags.

Though red-white-blue fabric is generally considered to be tawdry,
it is a metaphor for the spirit of Hong Kong from Stanley’s point of view:

red-white-blue
is existence, participation,
devotion and commitment.

red-white-blue
is perseverance, diligence and
endurance.

red-white-blue
likes the Hong Kong people of 1960s and
1970s…

The most important thing is that our
Hong Kong family
should remain unchanged for 50 years:
keep positive, keep going.”
