This book tells the story of the booksellers that disappeared into China for dealing in political volumes; of Lo Ting, the legendary half-human, half-fish ancestor of Hong Kong; and of the revolutionaries, refugees, Christian communities, care workers and entrepreneurs who have all made Hong Kong their home. It delves deeply into the diverse urban landscape - shaped by colonialism and the movement of hundreds of thousands of political refugees - and how it changes from island to island, from district to district. And it tells how all of these elements came together in a wave of discontent that made headlines across the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eIlaria Maria Sala\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer and researcher living in Hong Kong.
