Hong Kong is literature: from an isolated island on the sea to a cosmopolitan city, from an imperial colony to a socialist special zone, Hong Kong’s experience is more legendary than legend. From the colonial officials stationed in Hong Kong to the left-wing writers who care about the working people; from the Hong Kong literature department that seeks perfection and criticism, to various lively and essential anthologies; from avant-garde modern poetry, human novels and topical movies, to Desolate Nanyin and tragic Cantonese opera; from chants on Nathan Road to memories on the edge of Victoria Harbor...how to describe the countless Hong Kong stories?
The author tells us about the past and present life of literary Hong Kong, reveals the significance of Hong Kong to the entire Chinese cultural circle, and thinks about the future of Hong Kong. Issues such as region, China, politics, colonization, modernity, etc., which seem as cold and hard as "three feet of green front", are turned into a lyrical history of Hong Kong through the author's eloquent talk.
