Theme At Home in Hong Kong: Stories
of Chinese Immigrants over Hundred Years Home is where the heart is. Hong Kong has
always experienced a busy flow of people entering and leaving the territory, and the past century has seen
countless people migrate to Hong Kong from all over mainland China, with most of them later making the city
their home. These immigrants – and their descendants – have constantly striven to make a living
in Hong Kong and, as they have settled and also succeeded in business and industry, they have brought with
them the customs, culture and fellowship of their hometowns. Chapter after chapter of their stories paint an
indelible picture of the city's development and prosperity. Collecting and studying these narratives from
Hong Kong's history, steeped in memories of the people's hometowns, can help enhance participants' interest
in learning and understanding history.
