拆村：消逝的九龙村落
Zhang Ruiwei
This book describes villages in the Kowloon area, from the "Sea Relocation Order" in the early Qing Dynasty to the post-war period when the villages were gradually demolished in response to the Hong Kong government's urban planning. It tells the story of how the Kowloon village and its clans declined and even disappeared. With the help of literary and historical archives and oral history, the author reproduces the scenes of village ethnic groups recognizing their ancestors, resisting foreign enemies, worshiping gods and ancestors, and demolishing and relocating villages. He also mentions genealogy, sacrificial fields, ancestral halls, walled cities, land deeds, etc.
