For $15,000 and with deep personal ties to Hong Kong’s cinematic and everyday past, he restored it to perfection, sharing the journey on Instagram that went viral. Now cruising Toronto’s streets, especially Chinatown and Markham, his taxi stirs nostalgia — even bringing tears from elderly Hong Kongers who once drove these cabs, like one family who traveled hours just to see it before their patriarch’s passing. More than a car, it’s a moving tribute to a fading era and a bridge for displaced Hong Kongers seeking comfort in familiar sights.
