Rocking boards, also known as stilts, are the classic games in children's playgrounds in the 70s and 80s. At that time, children were very creative and mischievous, and the simple gameplay of rocking board could not satisfy their desire for challenge. In addition to treating the board as a balance beam, a few more children will sit on each side, upgrading the original two-player casual game into a four- or even six-player team competition. Both players take turns to exert their power, and the first one to land on the ground or call for a halt loses. Sometimes the heavier party will suddenly stomp on the ground, bouncing the children on the other side out of the way, or lifting the other party in mid-air and then suddenly leaving the seat, causing the other party to fall quickly and shake their bums until they are numb. For this reason, boogie boards are usually installed on soft plastic floors or with springs under the seat to reduce the severity of the injury. From the 90s onwards, due to safety and aging equipment problems, the boogie boards were gradually phased out and disappeared from people's sight, becoming a collective memory of the older generation.

NEWS STALL

Newspaper stalls, often called newspaper stalls in Hong Kong, are mainly street vendors of newspapers and magazines, and usually sell cigarettes, lighters, chewing gum, drinks, individually wrapped tissue paper, and so on. Newspaper stalls are commonly found in high-traffic streets, at the airport, railway stations and in front of restaurants. Newspaper stalls have a long history in Hong Kong, with the first one appearing in 1904 at the lower station of the Peak Tramway. The reason for setting up a newspaper stall there was that the early newspapers were in English and most of the residents of Mid-levels and the Peak were expatriates. Prior to the newspaper stall, newspapers were sold by hawkers along the route. In the 1960s and 1970s, newspaper stalls could be found everywhere in the streets of urban Hong Kong. Parents would buy a newspaper from the newspaper stall before going for tea, while their young children would buy popular publications such as "Lao Fu Zi" or "Children's Paradise". However, with the rise of the internet, the street culture of newspaper stalls has been declining. In addition, the emergence of free newspapers and the competition from chain shops' quick-selling methods have led to the gradual disappearance of newspaper stalls from the streets. Since the 1970s, the Urban Council has not issued new hawker licences under normal circumstances, and there are strict restrictions on the succession and transfer of hawker licences.
