Henry - historian
I am curious about the historical development of Sheung Wan, which was the place marked the beginning of British Occupation. Western Market, a famous landmark in Sheung Wan, showed a lot of interesting historical significance and characteristics of people’s life in the past. I sincerely hope that the interesting introduction of Western Market could draw readers’ attention to the history and life in the past.
Chester - Narrator
It was a great chance for me to understand more the story of Wing Lee Street. From redevelopment to preservation, it is really grateful that the cultural buildings in Wing Lee Street can eventuallyybe preserved with its original nostalgic atmosphere though with the repairment and renovation. As a younger generation of Hong Kong nowadays, the preservation of Wing Lee Street has really inspired me about the admiration of cultural herritage.
For - people watcher
People are the most mysterious creatures. We can never truly understand what they are thinking. Therefore, it’s interesting to observe their behavior. Also, to watch their move. This time, I have stood on the Cleverly Street watching people walking by. There are different types of people I have paid extra attention on since they somehow have attracted me. In general, it's an intrigued experience.
