In this reading, the author looks at different aspects of why public housing estates became haunted during the reign of director Fruit Chan.
I’m a student from local, and in my view, Hong Kong is a place that has different needs for humans, Where there is a huge disparity between rich and poor. For local people, it was hard to imagine what a global economic place would be like, and some places seemed haunted initially.
However, In my view of Hong Kong, I watched Chan’s film to further investigate the state of public housing. The magnificent infrastructures ( IFC, ICC and K11 Musea) represent Hong Kong. To develop into an important commercial and financial center and an international business hub in Asia
I realised how different it is from public housing estates such as the Oi man estate. Some people who work in IFC or in a high position but still live in a public housing estate may live in a small, dilapidated house.
