Summary of Karen Cheung's The Impossible City
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 I was four years old when my mother and brother moved to Singapore. I would grow up as if I were a single child, but I didn't know that at the time. My grandmother was seventy, and her post-retirement project was me.
#2 On June 29, 1997, the anchor Keith Yuen announced that Hong Kong would be handed over to China thirty more hours later on July 1. The handover ceremony was taking place at midnight, and Prince Charles and Tony Blair would be in attendance.
#3 I lived my life the same after the handover. I ate salted pork and century egg congee every morning, watched Japanese anime cartoons on the 4:00 p. m. children's show on TVB, and played slot machines with fake coins at the local game arcade.
#4 Across the city, artists try to mark the historical event in their own ways. Fruit Chan releases Made in Hong Kong, a grim realist film about wayward teenagers forgotten in the story of the city.
