In 1955, an ancient tomb was discovered, and in 1956, the Double Ten Riot occurred. A deep historical trace was left on the 19 seven-story buildings of the Li Cheng Uk Estate. Visiting Lee Cheng Uk Estate, a place full of history, is a journey of rediscovery. Listening to the stories of the previous generations, imagining what happened fifty or sixty years ago in the post-war Hong Kong, in an era of frequent fires, they moved to the Li Cheng Uk Estate with excitement, hoping to put a roof over their heads with three meals a day. Here, it also became a playground for children and a food paradise. The difficult but still happy life constituted unique memories. There were once over a million Hong Kong people living in resettlement estates, and I believe that anyone who has lived in a public housing estate will find these stories resonating. I believe that recording history is not about writing beautiful things. Liking history does not mean nostalgia. Understanding where happiness comes from allows us to continue to pursue happiness; only by understanding pain can we avoid suffering again. If you love this land, you must know its past, before you can protect it and pass on the stories.

In the information society of the 21st century, cultural boundaries of different regions influence and overlap with each other, making the world change at an astonishing speed, including our food traditions. The vast land of China has its own unique food culture, which was brought to a small city known as Hong Kong by immigrants in different eras. In addition, the internationalization process has introduced a large number of foreign elements, making Hong Kong's food culture an amalgamation of world food history. We often eat casually and carelessly, without thinking about the origins of what we eat; what kind of twists and turns did those dishes go through to become what they are today? Where do those eating habits come from and what traditions do they represent? Eating should not only be done with the mouth, but also with the heart; although eating with just the mouth can also amuse our taste buds, eating with the heart can bring more fun.
