Life is Life

Travel Account touches on travel and more importantly the cultural aspects. In most accounts it is about searching for a greater meaning, and denying the fact that we might not as great as we imagine ourselves to be.

Life, Politics and Hong Kong is a condensed telescope to look at Hong Kong, as prosperous as it might be, the soil of Hong Kong has more to offer us than we believe. The people, the places and the dramas going on. It explores controversies surrounding us in our daily lives, which survive unnoticed.This session is written in an elegant poetic style. There are references to other Chinese texts. It illustrates the juxtaposition of Chinese and Western values in Hong Kong given its unique colonial history. The texts written varies between serious and care-free issues.

Sketch of Life reflects the anxiety and explores the inner thoughts that we all once have. It is a plain, raw text with authentic thoughts. At the end of the day, it all comes down to living a meaningful life.
- Chung Tsz Chung

Memoir traces back the psychological changes of a person. It is rough and at times disconnected, as authentic as we all are. Things change, but words and memories stay.
