Such a classic novel, have heard of this fabled story a couple of times having spent a part of my childhood in hong kong surrounded by native cantonese speakers. A special book for me as I haven’t really touched on novels depicting hong kong during the 70s~. As long as it’s just fictional story, I get more of an idea of the vibrant, with a slight hint of melancholy atmosphere during those times ( hk is a naturally saturated city, but there were many corruption going on back then ). And honestly, I feel a bit homesick after reading it lol.
