Acerca del libro
In 1998, Hong Kong’s only airport moved to Lantau Island, the city was given an opportunity to redevelop and revitalize one of the oldest neighborhoods, the Kowloon City district. Due to its close proximity to the old Kai Tak Airport, construction in this area had always been strictly regulated, but with the airport gone, the area began to grow and evolve.
Following the death of his father in 2014, New York-based photographer John Chee returned to his childhood home in the Kowloon City. After two decades away, Chee sought to reconnect with his former neighborhood. Using the tool that he knows best, Chee captures the family stone houses and the last walled village of Kowloon that among many others in the shadow of Lion Rock face elimination. Illuminating Hong Kong's tenacious energy known as the "Lion Rock Spirit," My Father’s Kowloon City is an evocative tribute to the city and its people, the local pride and growing pains.
