Since 2003 Hong Kong has changed dramatically. In recent years the city has been rocked by social instability and Covid-19, yet Hong Kong endures, evolving as it always has. This book is a window to the events of a city that has been the author's home for over two decades. It captures the events that at times shuddered the city to others that merely needed a mention. From politics to urinating taxi drivers, from culling animals to LGBT, it is a historical account and a chronicle of life in Hong Kong. With illustrations by Harry Harrison, cartoonist of the South China Morning Post.
