After more than 20 years of planning, Hong Kong fashion designer and media personality William Tang Tat-chi hiked from the Pyrenees in southwestern France to the snow-capped mountains of the northeastern corner of Spain, and then all the way to the Santiago Cathedral in the northwest corner of Spain on the Atlantic coast, along the "St. James Pilgrimage Road" for 30 days. With his heavy workload and after cervical spine injuries, the death of his beloved mother, and the diagnosis of his colon cancer, Tang felt lost and disoriented. In the New Year in 2017, Tang and his surgeon partner Clement Chan traveled around Matsushima, Aomori, Kyoto, and Wakayama on a winter trip to Honshu from north to south. Facing the vast sunset on Engetsu Island, he secretly promised himself that he must set off for the pilgrimage in the spring and summer of 2017. Facing the ups and downs of family, love, and life, Tang chose to let go and embark on the journey alone, listening to the true voice in his heart. After the journey, he cast an alternative vote for the rest of his life that may go against the tradition and the moral values of his family…

In the current state of baseball in Hong Kong, this book is not easy to come by. For years, baseball players, coaches, clubs, and associations have been circling around issues such as venues, resources, training time, and support. Baseball is not a school sport, and young players naturally do not participate as much as basketball, football, and other sports. Those who persist and make it the Hong Kong team are trapped in a dead end loop. Hong Kong has no "full-time baseball players", they have to rush to the only training ground in the city after work or school, but the training time is insufficient. They have to compete with world-leading baseball giants in international competitions, and they are simply out of their league. Without a good result in international competitions, it is impossible to fight for more resources from the government to improve players' technique and popularize baseball... Despite the difficulties, many people are passionate about baseball, and they are determined to persevere. In the 1980s, we had the Swallows team that created history by defeating the Japanese Little League team; in the 1990s, we had the exclusive association of baseball; after the millennium, we finally got a dedicated training ground for the Hong Kong team, as well as professional referees, coaches, and the new milestone of having the opportunity to go abroad as a professional baseball player. Although it cannot be said that baseball is taking the city by storm, the seeds have been sown, and after being irrigated by the passion of several generations of baseball enthusiasts, it is hoped that the seedlings will one day bear fruit. This book chronicles the dreams of 10 Hong Kong baseball players. Through their stories of inheritance, we see the history of baseball in Hong Kong, looking back at the past and looking forward to the future.
