Set against the backdrop of 1950s Hong Kong, the memoir recounts the unique childhood experiences of a young boy who navigated a vibrant yet complex world. Through encounters with colorful characters like the plink plonk man and the Queen of Kowloon, the narrative reveals not only the charm of a bustling colony but also the turmoil of his parents' troubled relationship. This intimate reflection captures the essence of a bygone era while exploring themes of innocence, cultural clash, and personal upheaval.
