In a fast-paced city like Hong Kong, things change everyday, every minute. Buildings have vanished; familiar faces have disappeared together with the uninformed closing down of local shops. People have become indifferent and unconcerned. Small talks among neighbours and chats with shop owners have become a thing of the past. By retaining the smell of my neighbourhood, I want to conserve a part of the Hong Kong story, as well as a part of my life.

在香港這個繁忙都市裡,人和事每分每秒也在轉變。每天走過的建築物、常去的飯店、買東西的商店、熟悉的面孔也可能隨時消失。這個都市已變得冷漠,人們和他們的鄰居、商店的店員聊天已不再常見。我希望能保存這些東西的氣味,保存一個屬於香港的故事,屬於我生活的一部份。
