Author: Cantonese Museum Publisher: Bright Light Culture Size: 130mm x 210mm Pages: 296 ISBN: 978-988-8820-11-5 Publication Date: August 2022 [Synopsis] This is a revised edition of "Cantonese Study 4: Cantonese That Tells Stories," with a new chapter added: "Childhood Snacks." Is the correct way to write "Du Shu" actually "tuo suo" (meaning to shrink)? Was the "fishmonger" in "Uncle takes you to see goldfish" a real person? Why would one "chop off a toe to avoid sandworms"? Why is being fired by the boss called "stir-fried squid"? Why is being demoted called "stewed shiitake mushrooms"? Have you ever heard of unique old Hong Kong life snippets like "the downstairs tap is turned off," "a fluorescent lamp hangs a mouse cage," or "the rooftop primary school"? Cantonese Museum's "Cantonese Study" series, book 4, "Cantonese That Tells Stories," continues to explore more interesting stories and terms related to Hong Kong with readers.
