Hong Kong Americans diaspora is a subject that has not been well explored. Through connecting academia, HKXRM will encourage the study of Hong Kong history and its impact to the world.
Many colonial and indigenous cultures are becoming lost as control over freedom of speech and education in Hong Kong is tightened.
More Hong Kongers are immigrating to different areas of the world. There is a need to reinforce Hong Konger identity so it doesn’t go extinct.
Loss of freedom of press is making grassroots Hong Konger voices even harder to be heard.
Thank you for bring [sic] this piece of history into my knowledge. I feel very proud with my forebears. As one of the boy [sic] who came out of Hong Kong and Whampoa Docks Co Ltd, I do appreciate more of this sort of history can be shared with our new generation.Jacko S. · grew up with Hong Kong and Whampoa Dock · FacebookIf I could bring back one thing in XR, I would choose the Jumbo Floating Restaurant. Not only just a tourist attraction, it was a site of collective memory. In XR, I would recreate the interior as it was: the layered sounds of Cantonese conversations, the clatter of porcelain, the slow drift of the harbour outside.Community member · Instagram欣賞你的用心。這也是我希望做的，即使不再在自己的出生地，也希望用某種形式記錄真正的香港。I appreciate the care you put into this. It's what I hope to do too: even though I no longer live where I was born, I want to record the real Hong Kong in some form.
