Interview with "King of Kowloon" // Eastweek 2013
**Badge | King of Kowloon**
Tsang Tsou Choi, the "King of Kowloon" was a Hong Kong citizen known for his calligraphy graffiti.
He traveled to Hong Kong at the age of 16, he was a poor worker and was barely literate. He began to mark the streets of Hong Kong with his distinctive graffiti at the age of 35. He claimed that he had studied his ancestral tree and discovered that most of the land of Kowloon belonged to his ancestors. He said that Kowloon belonged to his grandfather.
During his last years, he lived in a retirement home, and no longer wrote on walls. However, his poor health did not entirely halt his calligraphic efforts. He continued his work on paper, household linens, and other mundane items.
He died on 15 July 2007 following a heart attack in Hong Kong. He was 85. He also said that Tsang's last wish was for another exhibition of his work.
