Walk to the Sea at Dawn - Man Hoi-lam

The sea that surges to change the city's destiny, and its coastal habitats whose destinies are constantly rewritten. Recommended by Lam Chiu-ying, Yu Lai-man, Lee Chi-leung Foreword by Hon Lai-chu, Wong Ching-hang -- Lam Chiu-ying (Former Director of the Hong Kong Observatory): In this book, Man Hoi-lam takes us to various places in Hong Kong, from waterfalls on mountains flowing down to river mouth mudflats, from remote villages to small remaining natural corners next to luxury housing estates. Everywhere, she finds traces of nature's life striving. Yu Lai-man (Programme Co-ordinator of the Master of Arts in Literary and Cultural Studies at the University of Hong Kong): "Walk to the Sea at Dawn" responds to the folding of relationships between ecology, history, the city, and the individual. It is a rare multi-perspective work. Lee Chi-leung (Writer): Through the editing and exchange of scenes, texts, and narrative voices, readers follow the "surrogate-like bodily consciousness" of survivors to observe, perceive, and walk through "My City" in a different way. -- This is a collection of essays on Hong Kong's ecological writing, and also a travelogue of Hong Kong that reflects its humanistic history. Along the coastlines of Hong Kong's islands and the Kowloon Peninsula, the author's memories of growing up are folded. In the crevices of sunlight, the words grow with the intimacy and distance between the individual, the city, and nature. -- Number of Pages: 264 Inner Page Color: Two-color Binding: Paperback Category: Hong Kong Literature / Essays / Modern Chinese Writing
