As a woman, you have to suffer a lot. Esther Lee uses Cantonese-style prose and simple language to describe the unfortunate experiences she learnt from her female friends over the years. Shakespeare has a famous saying: "Weakness, thy name is woman!" It seems to draw the boundary of ability for women. But as a woman, can you only be a weak person? "Weakness" and "strength" don’t need to be binary opposites, but a growth process. Each story in this book seems to be an account of incidents, but it is also a process of gaining growth. Even if you are in trouble, as long as you adjust your mindset and try to make changes, you can start a new life and become an independent and strong person. From a weak and helpless person suffering from oppression, to an independent and self-reliant strong person, it takes the courage to confront cruel reality. Although they went through unfortunate experiences, some of them will passively accept reality, but some will bravely set new boundaries for themselves. The word "woman" has always been a cover-all label for all women. Whether you are strong or weak depends not on your gender, but on your mindset. This book pays tribute to countless ordinary women, because they live to prove the meaning of life.

Hong Kong cinema has always been full of vitality. Not only does it incorporate foreign elements, but also integrates them into local folklore, forming a unique culture that stands out in the international movie scene. This book starts with 23 essays, focusing on Hong Kong cinema from the 1950s to the 1970s, examining its development from ethical romance to psychological explorations, from traditional realism to modern lyricism. By reviewing the literary works of many outstanding filmmakers such as Wu Hui, Cheng Gang, Li Tie, Li Chenfeng, Zuo Ji, Chu Yuan, Tang Shuxuan, and Chen Yunwen, it explores the artistic space and human landscape they created for Hong Kong cinema over the past 30 years. The author of this book does not want to idealize all things old with a nostalgic attitude, but hopes to clarify some misunderstandings that have accumulated over the past half century due to prejudice or lack of discourse under conventional constraints. He outlines the uniqueness of Hong Kong cinema. In this way, it highlights the efforts of several generations of filmmakers to establish local culture, and pays sincere tribute to their endless creativity over the years.
