520    "An award-winning journalist and longtime Hong Konger 
       indelibly captures the place, its people, and the untold 
       history they are claiming, just as it is being erased. 
       Lim's deeply researched-and deeply personal-account casts 
       often startling new light on key moments: the British 
       takeover in 1842, the negotiations leading to its "return"
       to China in 1997, the current protests, and the future 
       Beijing seeks to impose. Throughout, it is populated by 
       contemporary figures who, like her, aim to put Hong 
       Kongers at the center of their own story: guerrilla 
       calligraphers, amateur historians and archaeologists, and 
       wending through it all, the King of Kowloon, a mentally 
       ill trash collector, descended from royalty, whose iconic 
       street art both embodied and inspired the unique identity 
       Lim unforgettably conveys-Hong Kong as a place of 
       disappearance and reappearance, power and powerlessness, 
       loss and reclamation, silence and voice"--|cProvided by
