From Lantau to Ealing: Hong Kong’s homesick exiles in Britain greet the Year of the Tiger
For many newly arrived Hong Kongers in Britain, this will be their first Lunar New Year away from home.
As families across the Chinese-speaking world gather to celebrate the advent of the Year of the Tiger on February 1, the Cantonese festivities across the U.K. in the coming days will often be a bitter reminder of separation from loved ones and from the places where they grew up.

Hong Kong photographers to Record the Authorities' Destruction of #Lantau's Ecology
"Lantau Tomorrow Vision" is a plan of the Hong Kong SAR government to conduct reclamation in Lantau Island. Despite opposition, the government will start making consultation and finance plan in October 2022.
#Greenpeace invited local photographers to produce a documentary "Lantau - The Hidden Treasure of Hong Kong" to record the scenery and wildlife of the island, as the reclamation plan is expected to damage the ecosystem.
The photographers believe in the importance of this decumentary, in order to pass on the memory of the era and the testimony of the destruction to future generations.
"This place could be completely different in 10 years. We will look at it and treasure it as much as we can. We will stand witness to the destruction."
