Hong Kong Fiction| Reborn to Love You
“Ten years ago, this story brought me to someone who loved and understood me.”
“Ten years later, we returned to give it an ending worthy of the love we found.”
Tucked away in Hong Kong’s bustling Central district, Kau U Fong is an old neighbourhood where two love stories unfold, ten years apart.
A young woman with memory loss becomes caught up in a series of mysterious disappearances. A secretive new tenant draws her into a love triangle filled with uncertainty and danger.
Ten years later, familiar faces have gone, but she is still waiting for the man she cannot forget. Then a new tenant from Spain, known only as “H”, begins to stir her heart.
Who is he—and how is he connected to the man she has been waiting for? As redevelopment threatens the neighbourhood, his arrival could change everything.
Written across a decade, this story reflects two authors’ growth—and the love they found along the way.
