以前的人說「工字不出頭」，不過在上世紀，工業曾經撐起整個香港經濟，全盛時期佔本地生產總值大約三分之一。 近半「打工仔」從事製造業，當年不少香港製造的經典產品，相信大家都有印象。針織廠、五金廠、玩具廠、電器廠等，真是數之不盡。市道好、股市暢旺，「魚翅撈飯」的日子，大家還記得嗎？ 工展會提出「香港人用香港貨」口號，還有工展小姐選舉。隨著工業衰落，香港經濟就靠旅遊業和服務業支撐下去。
In the past, people said that "I do not make a head start." However, in the last century, industry supported the entire Hong Kong economy, and in its heyday accounted for about one-third of the GDP. Nearly half of the "wage earners" are engaged in the manufacturing industry. I believe everyone has an impression of many classic products made in Hong Kong that year. Knitting factories, hardware factories, toy factories, electrical appliances factories, etc. are really countless. Do you still remember the days when the market was good, the stock market was booming, and the "shark fin fishing for rice"? The trade fair put forward the slogan "Hong Kong people use Hong Kong goods", and the trade fair lady election. With the decline of industry, Hong Kong's economy has been supported by tourism and service industries.
