In the last few weeks, she’s been too weak to leave the house, but we can take her for walks in the after­noon now. Going around the block takes half an hour and leaves her legs shak­ing, but she’s hap­py to be out. Before we go, she gets dressed and puts on her make­up and does her hair. Even now, she retains the class and dig­ni­ty I’ve always admired in her.

  1. Hey, on the left of the 2nd pho­to is my ele­men­tary school, and my high­school is just across the road.

    • I passed by, but it has too many gates and walls to get any good pic­tures. My dad said your high school is very famous and prestigious…the Hong Kong equiv­a­lent of Upper Canada College.

  2. ok i wana go

    • For some rea­son, I imag­ine you — a big white guy — in an under­sized Chinese school uni­form, try­ing to blend in to buy ice-cream from the guy on the motor­cy­cle. :D

  3. Wow I don’t rec­og­nize this area. All my friends live in Kowloon in the old sec­tions.

    • These were all tak­en in the radius of a sin­gle block in Kowloon, although I don’t know if it was from a new or an old sec­tion. I’m guess­ing old, because the build­ings are quite old. The fact that the pic­tures are from such a small and sin­gle area is prob­a­bly why you don’t rec­og­nize any­thing.
