Since 2003 Hong Kong has changed dramatically. In recent years the city has been rocked by social instability and Covid-19, yet Hong Kong endures, evolving as it always has. This book is a window to the events of a city that has been the author's home for over two decades. It captures the events that at times shuddered the city to others that merely needed a mention. From politics to urinating taxi drivers, from culling animals to LGBT, it is a historical account and a chronicle of life in Hong Kong. With illustrations by Harry Harrison, cartoonist of the South China Morning Post.
Mark Peaker is the co-founder of 3812 Gallery, a leading contemporary Chinese art gallery in Hong Kong & London. He is also chairman of Shakespeare 4 All, an NGO focused on using theatre for the benefit of children's education and development. In addition, Mark was a past vice-chairman of the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children, one of Hong Kong's oldest charities. He is also a founding member of SKETCH HONG KONG, an NGO created to help develop artistic talent and promote the preservation of cultural heritage of Hong Kong.
