Young People is a 1972 Hong Kong drama film directed by Chang Cheh and starring David Chiang, Ti Lung, Chen Kuan-tai, and pop singer Agnes Chan, the younger sister of Irene Chan, in her debut film role.
Martial arts club member Ho Tai's (Chen Kuan-tai) girlfriend Princess (Irene Chan) is the school babe, who also attracts the pursuit by star athlete Lam Tat (Ti Lung). Lam always ridicules Ho and they develop a bad relation. On the other hand, music club leader Hung Wai (David Chiang), who came from a family of martial arts, teaches martial arts to his club members to raise their spirits. Because of Princess, Lam got into a fight with Ho during jogging practice and Hung came to break up the fight. The two finally buried their hatchet. During the school's cart racing competition, Lam and Ho, out of gratitude for Hung, help him win the championship.
The film grossed HK$1,223,950 at the Hong Kong box office during its theatrical run from 7 to 19 July 1972 in Hong Kong.
