Wu Wenzheng

51K0

Due to the changes of the times, many old things in Hong Kong have disappeared one by one and no longer exist. Wu Wenzheng, the author of this book, is an excellent "buyer". His warehouse is filled with treasures used by civilians. Out of his obsession with old things, he will look for clues in these old things and use them to express his ambitions and emotions. This time, he rummaged through things, revisited and picked up old things, and hoped to piece together a picture of the old Hong Kong market that had been brewing in his heart for many years from various daily utensils, social changes and people's stories. It is also a record of the lives of ordinary people. There are old and new, Chinese and Western, and it tells a Hong Kong story that must not be forgotten.
