Fifty-Fifty

New Hong Kong Writing

Xu Xi, editor

"Fifty-Fifty captures the essence of a city balancing precariously on the knife-edge of east and west."

- Nury Vittachi, author of Mr Wong Goes West

Bringing together more than forty writers and poets, FIFTY-FIFTY is a collective, creative response to a burning question posed by the editor, Xu Xi: What are Hong Kong's chances as it counts down fifty years of the S.A.R.?

 


"42 writers speaking and speculating boldly." —Winnie Chau, Hong Kong Magazine
"... a slew of thought-provoking stoires, essays, and poems." —Nick Walker, TimeOut Hong Kong
