Description
Hong Kong has undergone significant changes since 2003, marked by periods of social instability and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Yet, the city has continued to evolve, adapting to the challenges it faces. This book offers a unique perspective on the events that have shaped Hong Kong over the past two decades, covering a wide range of topics from politics to everyday life. The author's personal experiences and observations are woven together with historical context to create a comprehensive account of life in Hong Kong. The book also explores various aspects of the city's culture, including its animal welfare policies and the fight for LGBT rights. The author's insights are complemented by illustrations by Harry Harrison, cartoonist of the South China Morning Post. Through its pages, this book provides a fascinating glimpse into the complexities and contradictions of Hong Kong's modern experience.
