Certainly not in Hong Kong. For starters, any movie where the protagonist screwed someone’s wife, got beaten up by the husband, urinated on by same wife, then lost it and massacred everyone while the daughter was watching, is not going to fare well with today’s investors. Not to mention pouring gasoline on said daughter and trying to burn her alive, all within the first seven minutes of this abomination. Horrendous as it is, […] - [Far Far Away... from HOME 《緣路山旮旯》](https://hkcc.org.uk/?p=711): Far Far Away… from HOME 《緣路山旮旯》 December 23, 2022 by B EN 中文 This film review was actually written a while ago. Just posting it now not because I’ve settled into the relatively slower pace of life in the UK; it’s just in accordance to our posting schedule 😛 It was quite an enjoyable watch for me. Consistent with the styles of his earlier works, the director takes the audience through Hong Kong’s popular streets and the far-flung rural areas through the lens of his camera. Watching this Hong Kong movie in a foreign country, the quiet and beautiful rural […] - [What the x do I know about fashion? 《Fashion呢家野我識條鐵咩》](https://hkcc.org.uk/?p=732): What the x do I know about fashion? 《Fashion呢家野我識條鐵咩》 November 19, 2022 by Y EN 中文 Small talk seems to be a vital part of working in the UK (not sure if my boss would agree?). One day, my female colleagues were chatting away as usual, discussing their favourite boys outfit. One of my colleagues said she liked the “roadman” style. “Do you mean construction workers?” I asked, curious. I had seldom heard girls in Hong Kong adoring this style. What’s more, it was hard to associate my young and polite British colleague with construction workers’ style. My colleague smiled […] - [Waiting for the Bus 《等巴士》](https://hkcc.org.uk/?p=791): What the x do I know about fashion? 《等巴士》 November 5, 2022 by R EN 中文 “I am down again, since reading Osamu Dazai; No matter who I talk to, they don’t care about the meaning of death. The world is crumbling, we are beyond saving. I wish the wind would take me away somewhere to begin again.” - My Little Airport’s “Song of sadness and frustration” The familiar tune from My Little Airport fills my earphones. I had been waiting for the bus for almost an hour. The sun was blazing in the afternoon, but now the air has […] - [The Stranger 《異鄉人》](https://hkcc.org.uk/?p=815): The Stranger? 《異鄉人》 October 22, 2022 by Re EN 中文 What does “Hometown” mean to you, to all Hongkongers? Excluding Japan (which is widely considered a “home away from home” for Hongkongers), “Hometown” probably means what we wrote under the column for our parents’ nativelands in our handbooks. But deep down we all know, that is not our hometown. Then what is “hometown”? According to the ancient Chinese dictionary Shuowen Jiezi, “hometown” means ungranted land away from major cities. As also explained in the annotation, hometown was written as heung in Chinese, a homonym connoting belonging, suggesting that hometown is […] - [2020](https://hkcc.org.uk/?p=821): 2020 October 8, 2022 by T Should I go or should I stay? I know we live in a time where Things get more absurd every day Whatever I do here or there I should be grateful to still have choices In a place with disappearing voices The city has long been sick and coughing Before they put the last nail in the coffin Though it’s no longer possible For things to be how they used to be There had been passionate people There had been good memories The “Pearl of the Orient” Has long lost its glory But don’t […] - [Yuen Yueng 《鴛鴦》](https://hkcc.org.uk/?p=831): Yuen Yueng 《鴛鴦》 September 24, 2022 by B EN 中文 “Order a cup of yuenyueng, and reminisce the good old days.” This line from “Letter”, a Cantonese song by Yoyo Sham, must ring a bell among many Hongkongers. Listening to this song as expats away from home, the messages on parting and nostalgia tear at our heartstrings even more. The lyricist Chan Wing Him brings “Yuenyeung” into the song for its rhyming sound and tone with “Nostalgia” in Cantonese. But most importantly, yuenyeung has always been a popular beverage in Hong Kong food culture. Leaving behind our hometown to settle […] ## Pages - [Terms and Conditions](https://hkcc.org.uk/?page_id=1349): Terms and Conditions of Use 1.
