This and That

Many old things and matters in old Hong Kong have disappeared over time.The author Wu Wenzheng is a brilliant "e;garbage collector"e;, whose warehouse is filled with used objects of ordinary people. As he is obsessed with old bric-a-brac he will try to find clues and patterns, make comments on them and express his own vision and sensibility through them.This time, he turns his cupboards and cabinets upside down to revisit past events and old objects, and hopes to piece them together with clues of social changes and personal stories to reveal the folk landscape of old-time Hong Kong, a wish he has entertained for many years. The old, new, Chinese and Western strands are woven into a Hong Kong story that we should never forget.
