A Thousand Hamlets

A Thousand Hamlets | 1997 cinema in dreams, long reconciliation and starting over Today is July 1. As we mark the 29th anniversary of Hong Kong's return, approaching the subject through films that played in both Hong Kong and the mainland in 1997 offers a lens full of tension. If we step away from the celebratory glare and turn back to the dim cinema halls of 1997, we find that what unfolded on screen that year was far more complex than the handover ceremony itself—it was the manifestation of several dreams, disconnected yet secretly interpenetrating, that precisely reflected the turbulence where grand historical transformation intersected with individual fate.

A Thousand Hamlets | Between tradition and the world: The everyday poetics of Ye Si In discussions of Hong Kong writer Ye Si (Leung Ping-kwan, 1949–2013), critics have long tended to classify his literary style under Western modernism or postmodernism. He graduated from Baptist College with a degree in English, then earned a PhD in Comparative Literature from the University of California, San Diego. From the 1970s onward, he introduced the French New Novel and Latin American literature to readers in Hong Kong and Taiwan through translations and critical essays.

A Thousand Hamlets | Suspended between advance and retreat: Existential silhouette and inner twilight in Mon Mon (The Gate) is the final installment of Natsume Sōseki's Love Trilogy. As I explored in my analysis of the previous two works, which follow a progressive trajectory, the final piece is invariably where the emotional intensity must subside. While the story may subtly allude to the illicit union depicted in the second work, I prefer to detach this novel from the continuity of its predecessors and to regard its protagonist as a fully socialized character, one who has already matured, for he no longer displays the naïve choices and impulses of the earlier figures.

A Thousand Hamlets | Tranquility in the heart of bustle: Experiencing Buddha's Birthday in Hong Kong In Hong Kong, the air in May is always an interplay of saline humidity from the sea and the quietude of burning incense. Every year on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, the city shifts its rhythm. From the morning bells of the Tian Tan Buddha on Lantau Island to the rhythmic chanting at Chi Lin Nunnery in Diamond Hill, and the thunderous gongs and drums on Cheung Chau Island, the metropolis seems to slip through the cracks of its modern financial pulse into an ancient, profound frequency. This is the Buddha's Birthday.

A Thousand Hamlets | Silent Friend: A silent long march through labyrinth of introspection

A Thousand Hamlets | Silent Friend: A silent long march through labyrinth of introspection Time is a wallless botanical garden. The 1832 ginkgo stands there—a unique, untranslatable tome in the library of the Marburg University. Three generations have inscribed a century of forked time into the veins of its leaves, leaving behind only the oblivion that lives in human memory. We always think of ourselves as the chroniclers of history, as those who have walked out of time's labyrinth—yet we do not realize that between the ginkgo's leaves, we have already fallen into its silent gaze, becoming an unalterable, obscure, flowing line of script in its growth rings.
