Cantonese Culture in Hong Kong

Hong Kong occupies a unique place in Cantonese culture, where a fusion of global and local, traditional and modern elements creates a distinct cultural tapestry. From music, movies, comics, and art to architectural styles, Hong Kong's creations have captivated global audiences. Yet, with the handover of sovereignty and Chinese economic reform, Hong Kong's cultural landscape is transforming. Traditions fade, and Cantonese culture, once dominant in Asia, is shaped by neighboring influences. Even the Cantonese language evolves. This book explores this evolving Cantonese culture, offering reflections, critiques, and praises, inviting readers to appreciate its complex evolution.
