The rise of consumer culture in a Chinese society: a reading of banking television commercials in Hong Kong during the 1970s

Article Abstract:

The author asserts that the 1970s and early 1980s saw an emergence of capitalism and consumer culture in Hong Kong, which resulted in the adjustment of traditional values and themes. Television advertising campaigns of two banks are evaluated; one encouraged hard work and the gradual accumulation of wealth, whereas a later campaign focused on instant material gratification and the achievement of symbolic status through the consumption of goods.
