I can't help but contemplate the individual who initially chose the Bauhinia as the symbolic flower of Hong Kong: were they unaware of the Bauhinia's history as a sterile hybrid, or did they shrewdly recognize that its mixed heritage, stunning beauty, unexpected emergence, and inability to reproduce independently parallel the legend of Hong Kong itself? When the world gazes upon Hong Kong, it encompasses more than just the familiar hotels and commercial structures; it embodies the city's intricate and mysterious story. It evokes the city's multifaceted and enduring spirit that surpasses the austere and impersonal architecture.
