This reading have raises the thoughts of the bonding of disappearance and the architecture. In Hong Kong, a place that nostalgic with the skyscrapers with a view to provide the accommodation to a high density population. Moreover, the city is a mixture of architecture from the western post-colonialism and the traditional Chinese style which makes Hong Kong become Muti-culture city. Yet, Ackbar Abbas mentions that some of the architecture more likely a decorative rather than a historical and sophisticated building. As day goes by, Hong Kong lost its own colour and it is hard to distinguish the building that is visualise in the reality but only coated with the concrete without the soul like the Flagstaff House Museum of Tea ware the government to maximise the values and utilities a British style House to exhibit Chinese tea ware inappropriately. Film is the tools that can influence other nations people and , for example Chunking Express is a 1994 Hong Kong film directed by Wong Kar-wai that is taking place in the Chunking mansion, people can picture the old buildings and the lifestyle in Hong Kong.

Good summary on disappearance. In fact, Chungking Express does not only feature Chungking Mansion, but also the Central -Mid Levels escalator, the Kai Tak Airport,etc. Most of these places still exist nowadays. How do you think the film add another layer to the architectures?
