Dear Hong Kong: An Elegy to a City Paperback - 2017

by Xu XI


From the publisher

From a writer whose body of work witnesses her love affair with Hong Kong comesa highly personal narrative that unravels her recently finalized decision to leave the city for good. Xu Xi explores her tumultuous relationship with Hong Kong, her personal frustrations with how the city has developed in the recent past, and how these changes have informed her decision not to spend her later years there--a farewell address to the place that has shaped so much of her own identity.
