Overview
When people say ‘the situation in Hong Kong is getting worse’, I really can’t relate to this experience because I have no reference point. I moved to Hong Kong from Macao in 2016. As a ‘new immigrant’, my source of information about this city has always been provided by my father, who is from Hong Kong. I always remember him talking about the ‘Lion Rock Spirit’ being a core value of Hong Kong.
Using ‘elder graphics’ as a medium, Good Morning. Did you know?is both a response to my father’s beautiful memories of Hong Kong, and also an expression of my feelings about what has been happening since I have come to live here.
