Hong Kong is a city where prosperity and tension coexist. Here, every inch of land is worth a fortune, and every family is fighting relentlessly with space. As many people say, there is no such thing as the most expensive house price in Hong Kong, only more expensive. In this place, which is rated as the world's most expensive, the most scarce housing, and the smallest per capita area, it is a blessing for an ordinary family to have a 40-square-meter residence.
However, when people are still sighing about the crowded living space, a variety show completely subverts everyone's perception of "home". Cai Shaofen, a well-known star, showed her home in the show, at a glance, it is only 90 square meters, which is extremely small compared to the mansions of other stars in the show.
The audience couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that the conditions of Cai Shaofen's house are not very good? It was not until Cai Shaofen took everyone to visit the room where her two daughters lived that this question was revealed.
These two small loft-like rooms, compact and cozy, with two children's beds next to each other, a storage compartment, a height-adjustable table and chairs, and tatami mats arranged under the beds, make up the children's living space. For a while, the comment area of netizens exploded: "Isn't this an attic?" "It's already very good to have such an attic in Hong Kong."
Everyone began to marvel at Cai Shaofen's understanding and arrangement of home, it turned out that in this Hong Kong, where every inch of land is expensive, 90 square meters of space is already a top luxury house. Cai Shaofen's furniture selection is simple, without too much luxury decoration, and each piece reveals practicality and life.
Home, for her, is not a capital to show off, but a harbor of life, a place for her and her family to enjoy family together. Housing prices in Hong Kong have left countless families living in rented houses, and it is difficult to have a nest of their own without eating or drinking for decades. Cai Shaofen's family is undoubtedly lucky to have such a warm home in such an environment.
In the face of high housing prices, Hong Kong people's housing plight is not unique. When night falls, the small space is filled with the laughter of the family, and these happy moments may be the best answer to the high housing prices. Perhaps, the real mansion does not lie in the size of the area, but in whether it carries the warmth and happiness of home.
Cai Shaofen's 90-square-meter home may be the epitome of the ideal home in many people's hearts. At this time, are you also thinking about what kind of place your home should be? Maybe it doesn't need to be too big, just enough to contain your dreams and love. In this fast-paced era, we may learn to look at life and cherish what we have from Cai Shaofen's home.
There is no need to envy the material wealth of others, because happiness is often hidden in those seemingly ordinary, but full of love corners. Choi's home proves that even in a place like Hong Kong, where housing prices are high, happiness and contentment can still be simple and pure.
This is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for us struggling to survive in a fast-paced city, reminding us not to forget the essence of life while chasing material things. In this sky-high area of Hong Kong, every inch of space is extremely precious, and ordinary citizens are crammed into a small space to maintain their daily lives.
However, there are always people who have created incredible living miracles in this narrow territory, such as the famous Hong Kong actress Choi Siu-fan, whose home is a case full of surprises. You might think that as a star's home, it must be luxurious, spacious, and lavishly decorated. But Cai Shaofen's home is not the first impression it makes.
Some people have even watched the show and feel that the space in her home is too ordinary for a star. This idea was completely subverted the moment the little princesses opened the small door next to the children's room. Right next to the children's room, a small and inconspicuous door, it is a mysterious passage to the children's paradise.
Behind the door, there is a playful and colorful play area, climbing stairs, soft floor mats, and colorful colors, which is the secret base of the two little princesses, where they can read, play and imagine to their heart's content.
This area completely belongs to the children, it is their private space, we can imagine that every child has a dream deep in his heart, that is, to have a secret base of his own, and Cai Shaofen has done it.
What's even more surprising is that the double-storey design of the play area is usually a world for children to play, and it can be transformed into a second bedroom in the future to meet the children's needs for space when they grow up. In a living environment like Hong Kong, it is very rare to have such consideration and planning. In addition, there is a separate area of the home, which is also carefully prepared for the children.
Although her home is not big compared to Cai Shaofen's peers who live in luxury houses, her home is definitely a top luxury house in Hong Kong, a city known as the "Toothpick Building". Let's take a look at the average Hong Kong family, where do they live? Many people are crammed into cramped spaces, and some even joke that standing in the room and stretching out their arms can touch the walls on both sides.
However, even with the crowded space, housing prices in Hong Kong are still sky-high. The average price of one square meter is as high as 180,000 yuan, which is really an astronomical amount that is difficult for ordinary workers to achieve. In Hong Kong, a 1,702-square-foot (158-square-meter) house can be sold for 220 million Hong Kong dollars, which translates to a value of nearly one million dollars per square meter.
Such a price can't help but make people sigh that the housing prices in Hong Kong are not only high, but also to the level of "horror". Hong Kong's per capita living space is only 5.7 square metres, which is also quite low internationally. Sometimes, we have to ask, what kind of life pressure are young people in Hong Kong under in such a living environment?
In such an environment, Cai Shaofen can create such a warm and imaginative space for children, which can't help but be touching. Her home is not only a dream place for children, but also a piece of peace and warmth in the eyes of adults. What would you think if you were allowed to live in Hong Kong?
Will it be like Cai Shaofen, no matter how much space constraints are faced, but also to create a small world for the family to belong to? Hong Kong, a vibrant and stressful city, has a different story in every corner, and Cai Shaofen's home is just one of the warm strokes.
