Dr. Cai shares life stories to illustrate the significance of "knowledge" and "encounter", as well as the journey of "seeking" and "rooting". He embarks on a path of self-discovery, experiencing the notions of "quiet" and "death" while observing the world around him. Along the way, he forms "ten lessons" with his mentor, reflecting on his own ignorance and overcoming fears of intimate relationships. From the serene Swiss mountains to the bustling crowds of young people, he embraces the Sichuan Dahhan in earthquake-stricken areas.

Beyond the bustling facade of Hong Kong lies a treasure trove of traditional folk festivals that often go unnoticed. These festivals can be categorized into four types: seasonal festivals, rural celebrations, birthdays of gods, and Taiping Qingjiao. They serve as annual events for residents to seek blessings, ward off evil spirits, and perform dramas that entertain both gods and people. Furthermore, these festivities foster a sense of community and strengthen the bonds between different ethnic groups, nurturing a shared identity and belonging. Regrettably, these vibrant traditions have not received widespread attention. In this book, Chan Tin-kuen, a researcher of history, customs, and architectural relics, takes readers on a journey through the rural towns of Hong Kong, unveiling over fifty important or rare festival customs.
