Quotes by Kit Fan  (?)

“Boss’s heart isn’t in this place. Just like her pathetic mother eaten up by Hollywood rubbish, the girl wants to be someone somewhere else but knows she will never be able to escape and transform herself. That’s why she is so dangerous. She will always be a caged tigress. Those who have once been caged can never be free.”
Kit Fan, Diamond Hill

“The Chinese and the British were not exactly saintly. What they called the Join Declaration and the Basic Law are just another form of confusion and exploitation. There will be no peace in Hong Kong. An expiry date of 2047 is a curse.”
Kit Fan, Diamond Hill

“I wondered how there could be a custody battle when Hong Kong was already a fully grown adult and all she wanted was exactly what her parents did, the wealth of the entire globe.”
Kit Fan, Diamond Hill
