rhizome leaf flower

Over the years, the ecology of Huaxu has been constantly changing, which seems to imply the transfer of power in the city, and also reflects the resilience and vitality of the people's hard work. Taking root in the Flower Market in Mong Kok, we use the bookstore as a coordinate to tell a Hong Kong story about the Flower Market in a complementary way. Before the flowers wither, let the seeds turn into words to fight against forgetfulness and record this urban flower garden that has not yet died.

"Roots, Stems, Leaves and Flowers" hopes to reorganize scattered documents and leave a solid record of the story of the flower market. At the same time, it uses literary creation to fill in the emotional experiences that cannot be touched by archives. We believe that only by working together can we present a fuller community. The whole magazine is divided into three volumes: "When the plants are in full bloom, the flower market in the middle of the bustling city" focuses on the history and current situation of the flower market, and examines the changes in the market; "Portraits of old and new tenement buildings before and after revitalization" explains in detail The story of the pre-war tenement buildings on Prince Edward Road West next to the market explores the significance of historical buildings and revitalization plans; "Change and relocation, relying on the urban planning of this market" slightly zooms out to the Police Club Stadium and Mong Kok Stadium outside the market, and even How have the historical changes of the water channel in the market and the Yuen Po Street Bird Park shaped everyone's lives? What changes will the Yau Mong redevelopment plan bring to Fa Hui? With the market as the center, we hope to lead readers to gradually walk through the Hua Hui community, travel in the streets, explore from history, share experiences and emotions through creation, and finally use imagination to build a better Hua Hui for the future.

The alarm for reconstruction is sounding in the public, adding unknown factors to the lifeline of Huaxu. I pray that this ambition can sow seeds in the hearts of readers. Even if he is uprooted from Chao Hua Xu, we still have a book to plant the memory of the community that is about to be lost.
