Upward mobility, that's what's the people could achieve if they worked and/or studied hard. 70s, 80, to some extent 90's. Hard nowadays if not impossible.
It's different elsewhere but Hong Kong's perception of cool is money related.
If you live in the most expensive building - you've become the cooling guy ever.
Fly in a helicopter to work? You're cool.
Personally I think Hong Kong's best years line up with the golden era of Cantopop - '80s to the late '90s/early '00s. Cantopop was popular in SEA, had connections with popular Japanese composers in the 90s as well as being popular amongst overseas Chinese immigrants. Hong Kong also used to be a top film producer after Bollywood with all the creatives and kung fu talent in the region. The quality of Cantonese movies/music dropped significantly in the past decade or so, just like the city itself.
