【Music Box of MemoriesRecycling Diary】Bidding Farewell to Half a Century of Youth: Uncle Cheung's Golden Years of 80s
Date: April 2026
Weather: Light rain,with a touch of early summer humidity
Location: North Point,an old residential estate filled with traces of time
This afternoon,our "9Box Music" team visited Uncle Cheung's home in North Point. Every time we go to collect vinyl records,it feels like a journey through time,and today's trip was particularly poignant.
[Seller's Profile]
- Customer Name: Uncle Cheung (65 years old,retired secondary school teacher)
- Reason for selling: Preparing to move to the UK next month to reunite with his son's family. Faced with shrinking luggage allowances and the relatively damp and cold weather in the UK,he reluctantly decided to part with the vinyl records that had accompanied him for most of his life,hoping to find a new appreciative owner for these "old friends."
[Story Narration: The Unspoken Eloquence Hidden in the Grooves]
"I started buying these records in the 1980s; they cost me a good portion of my salary back then!" Uncle Cheung said with a smile,carefully taking out two thick stacks of vinyl records from a dehumidifier box.
As soon as the box was opened,our team's eyes lit up. This was indeed a microcosm of the golden age of Hong Kong pop music! From Anita Mui's dominance,Leslie Cheung's deep emotions,to Danny Chan's gentle elegance,and classic albums from Sandy Lam,Jacky Cheung,and Andy Lau,everything was there.
Uncle Cheung pointed to "Danny Chan's Best Collection" and "Unspoken Eloquence" and said,"Back then,I liked Danny the most. I don't know how many times I've listened to this record. Every time the needle drops and that crackling sound comes out,it feels like I'm 30 years old again." As he spoke,a hint of reluctance flashed in Uncle Cheung's eyes.
We carefully inspected each record. I must say,Uncle Cheung is truly someone who cherishes his records. Each record was encased in double-layered protective sleeves,not only free of mold,but even the corners of the covers were very well preserved. The lyric books,posters,and even the original promotional inserts were untouched inside.
After the assessment,we gave Uncle Cheung a surprisingly high recycling price.
"So these old things are still so valuable now. " Uncle Cheung exclaimed. I smiled and replied,"Uncle Cheung,good music is priceless,and your careful preservation of these records has given them extremely high collection value. We are not just recycling; we are also preserving culture. We will help them find new owners who truly appreciate them."
The moment the transaction was completed,Uncle Cheung sighed with relief,smiling and waving goodbye to us. Carrying this batch of vinyl records,laden with memories of Hong Kong in the 80s,we began our journey home. Every professional collection is not only for the website's business but also for the continuation of a sentiment.
