"Wong Fook Hing Book Store" postcard

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This is a postcard I found in Bert's Homestore, Brighton.

As a Hong Konger, I could tell it was a Hong Kong bookstore from the traditional Chinese characters and the street plate. I had no clue what was interesting about this bookstore until I Googled it and found a raddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/9woomm/wong_fook_hing_book_store/

It took me a minute to realize the English name "Wong Fook Hing Book Store" looks and sounds like "Wrong Fucking Book Store". It was hard for me to get it since I knew the correct pronunciation of the Chinese name "黃福興書[局]" from the start.
