Hong Kong is famous for its vibrant, busy street scene. This book introduces us to two dozen people who provide its outdoor colour. Here you will meet a flower seller, a street musician and a tram driver; a bouncer, a shoe shiner and a gas canister delivery man; a security guard and a lifeguard; a man who makes a living climbing bamboo scaffolding, and a woman who ferries visitors around the harbour on a sampan. Among the interviewees are also mainlanders, and ethnic minorities including those from the Philippines, Africa and India, reflecting the diverse ethnic makeup of today''s Hong Kong. These are the working people who are always seen but rarely heard, and in this book they tell their life stories in their own words. Sharp black-and-white portraits immerse the reader in the dynamic streetscape of Hong Kong.
