Now I see you - SSP in Ada's eyes








Old buildings, peeling paint and warming people.
Some people may say Sham Shui Po is the defective side of Hong Kong, I would say everyday details here are really beautiful.

Happiness could be easily found. For children happiness is a playground and a blue sky; for adults happiness is a family and neighbors.
It seems like everything here will stay longer in Sham Shui Po and lives are being lengthened. Buildings are of higher ages, more elderly in the district and relationship stay deeper and longer. Never fades in Sham Shui Po.  
The denseness of the district gives people a sense of closeness too. People are forced to know one another and bring thousands of life from different parts to one point. People, makes this place unique form the other districts in which is also the main reason that people found this place lovely and reason of stay.

Colorful parasols cropped up along the busy Apliu Street defines the energy hidden and the diversity in this district. Serving as one of the densest district in Hong Kong, people know how to find their own private space and develop their tough adaptability; also breeding one of the most diverse population area, people learn how to embrace different cultures and share the goods.



Even a big diversity could be found within Sham Shui Po – a thriving electronics market on Apliu Street and the fabric, ribbon stores on Ki Lung Street and button shops on Nam Cheong Street, all comes into one and appears in perfect harmony. This is a wonderful learning lesson about this community, our city and our humanity.
