HONG KONG DREAMLAND 4
going back home for the fourth time
from September 7 to September 17 2008 in the homeland of Leslie Cheung
This is a city where... the death of an artist could draw thousands to the streets, |
a white rose each in torrents of rain. |
This is a city of Chinese silk, Belgian chocolates, French wine, German cars, Swiss watches. |
Scottish mountains in fog give way to Mediterranean sun and laughter. |
Foreigners come for a year or two, attend concerts, watch fireworks by the harbour, stay a lifetime. |
This is the city with a history unforetold. |
This is Hong Kong |
my city of poetry. |
excerpt from 'My City', a poem written by Agnes Lam on 20 April 2003
