A window into the life of an influential figure in Hong Kong's arts and theater world.

This personal memoir offers a vivacious slice of contemporary Hong Kong's avant-garde art scene as it developed since the 1980s. The story, told in a colorful and anecdotal manner, speaks to arts and culture practitioners as well as any reader interested in the story of an early influencer creatively navigating artistic dreams, friendships, personal, socio-political, and economic uncertainties, and the many decision-making moments in what arts and life offer.
