My Beloved Hong Kong Island

This book collects fifty-two essays by Xi Xi, divided into four volumes: Volume One, "Watching Football Again," where Xi Xi, from the perspective of an avid football fan, shares her thoughts on players, referees, the World Cup, and more, connecting the sport to life. Volume Two, "African Series," describes exotic great figures, cultures, and histories, imbued with deep concern, opening another window for readers to observe the world. Volume Three, "A Bundle of Vignettes," vividly portrays everyday moments, such as making puppets and dollhouses, learning Cantonese, and memorizing new words, full of charm and humor. Volume Four, "My Beloved Hong Kong Island and Others," recounts her deep affection for her father and her long-standing friendships with bookstores and writers, genuinely moving; travelogues of her visits to bookstores in Chengdu and receiving awards in the United States are filled with unique perspectives and wonderful imagination.
