Hong Kong Stories · A Century of Hong Kong III: Neon Lights, Public Housing Estates, Old Neighbors - A Journey Through Time Under Lion Rock, Simple Yet Bustling Daily Life in the Neighborhood

Without neon signs, is Hong Kong still Hong Kong?
How can those pre-war buildings, almost forgotten, be easily demolished?
What is the path to revitalization and restoration for century-old monuments and historic building complexes?
What should Hong Kong look like in your mind?

Our past should be told by ourselves,
Those honest, mutually supportive peaceful years,
The shimmering charm and old flavors at the street corner late at night,
Require collective protection and inheritance to be firm and secure!

Telling History through Illustrations ★ Leading Forward with Sentiments

【Synopsis】
How many century-old relics are still left on Hong Kong's street corners? Have you noticed them?
The Jise Tea, fiercely resisting change, the traditional wedding gowns from old brands,
The unwavering Tong Lau, church architecture, and self-sufficient walled cities...
Even mahjong parlors, a form of entertainment, have a history of nearly a century!

Neon lights adorned the night, diligence built the city; under Lion Rock, there are resilient Hongkongers with strong ideals,
Who, with the tenacious spirit of integrating both Chinese and Western advantages, have strived for a century, an era of life.

It can never be understated, even if it's torn down and rebuilt!

Continuing stroke by stroke, this book tirelessly portrays Hong Kong's collective memory;
This time, it starts with the removal of neon signs, recreating the感動 (emotions/touching moments) born from loss…
