Exploring the complexities of identity and change, this unique poetry collection features parallel English and Chinese texts that reflect on Hong Kong during a pivotal moment in its history. The poems capture the city's vibrant dynamism, the experiences of families split between Canada and Hong Kong, and the aspirations of those migrating from rural areas. With roots in Chinese nature writing, the work also critiques urban development. The collaboration between an English-Canadian and a Chinese-Canadian poet fosters a dialogue on Asian modernity and the concept of "postculture."
