Hong Kong Shifts, the book!
HONG KONG SHIFTS
Stories from the Streets of Hong Kong
From sampan ladies and bamboo scaffolders to street cleaners, fishermen, security guards and market vendors – these workers form the backbone of the fast-paced metropolis of Hong Kong, yet they are often overlooked or taken for granted. Looking beyond the glamorous harbourfront, neon-lit shopping districts and dramatic skyline, Hong Kong Shifts explores the back alleys to meet and learn from the individuals who work tirelessly to keep the city ticking. These are stories and portraits of resilience, wisdom, positivity and strength from the streets of Hong Kong.
Published in July 2024 by Blacksmith Books, the hardcover book is bilingual (English and Cantonese) and presents a selection of 50 colourful human stories from across Hong Kong. These stories have been collected since 2019 throughout the pandemic and document a unique chapter of Hong Kong's history - paying tribute to this city and its people.
