Hong Kong has been declared a dying city and a reborn city more times than we can count. Many citizens have grown accustomed to these repetitive comments, continuing to care for their own daily lives and those of others within and beyond its borders. Despite the unpleasant memories, emotions, and duties they carry forward, are there moments when they feel a glimmer of hope? Where do these hopeful feelings arise?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hope sometimes appears as blind optimism. However, hope doesn’t have to be grandiose to be genuine. While there are numerous grand claims on Hong Kong\u2019s destined hopelessness and hopefulness, not many nuanced observations and discussions have been generated on citizens\u2019 multiple senses and acts of hope in everyday life. To persist in critical and theoretical dialogue on Hong Kong culture and society, we must commit ourselves to a reflexive sensitivity on overlapping affective grounds people dwell in and create.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This special section has archived several contributors\u2019 writings on hope. Seven writers, each of whom shares a concern for Hong Kong, were asked to pinpoint one location where they find “hope” in relation to their lived experiences and\/or research projects. The essays touch on different locations of hope, including hope in urban walking, housing, land activism, visual art, student publications, indigenous history, and forests. By sharing these hopeful locations with readers, we aim to present and map out some possible anchors of a future that remains within our grasp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
