There is a thousand Hong Kong in the eyes of a thousand people. This city is tolerant and independent, full of free and progressive souls. Today Hong Kong is walking at a fork in the road, with chaotic words pointing in different directions. Illustrator Mak Chendong was inspired by Czech writer M. Sasek to record the daily landscape of Hong Kong at this moment with a brush, so that the youngest daughter can see what the city looks like in his eyes at the moment; with Miss Black Cat's words, leave words for the future. The pictures full of life breath bring a rhythm that calms the mind; see how those ordinary moments exude a faint light.
Inspired by Czech writer M. Sasek, local artist Don Mak has used his brushes to immortalise present-day Hong Kong as a legacy for his young daughter. A visual memoir like no other, his paintings in'Once Upon a Hong Kong' are as poignant as they are powerful, prompting viewers to ponder upon the future of a city at the crossroads. Featuring a striking use of colour in Mak's signature style and a meaningful narrative by his collaborator Miss Black Cat, the bilingual book serves as a time capsule to be cherished for those who hold Hong Kong close to their hearts.
