Winner of the Young Writer Contest jointly organized by Sun Hung Kai Properties Ltd. and Joint Publishing (Hong Kong) Company Ltd

 

Inspired by the story of my grandparents and being indulged with the form of pop-up, I created my first pop-up book about the classic housing architecture in Hong Kong. From the 30s Cantonese tenements, the squatters common in the 50s, the Kowloon Walled City, to the resettlement estates of the 60s as well as the public housing of the 70s, these homes of the many Hong Kong people witnessed how my grandparents struggled through to improve the living standard of the family.
