5.0
Cheung offers so much nuance, intentional reflection, and passionate articulation of her experience living in Hong Kong, embedded within the larger landscape of the social and political issues of the city that impact her own life and well-being, as well as those around her. she draws parallels between the housing crisis in HK and the mental health crisis, the connections between art and resistance. it is both heartbreaking and informative and i highly recommend it!
Graphic: Suicidal thoughts
Moderate: Emotional abuse and Police brutality
