After viewing the material by Abbas, which indicates the disappearance of Hong Kong building due to the more focus on market value while neglecting the building as a representative for the city by its cultural, historical, political background. Nowadays, in response to these phenomena, figuring out ways to preserve the iconic city is essential. Except for the multi-cultural characteristics of Hong Kong, I think the vintage building style is also a signal based on the significant audiences’ impression of HK TVB culture spreading. Specifically, the nostalgia also responds to the memory recall, as Abba mentioned, which can indicate through storyline presenting surround for Hong Kong life. Consequently, the corresponding movie exerting the Hong kong building view could emphasize the iconic city trend towards the public and raise attention for city preservation. Therefore, I agree that promoting Hong Kong film production and creation could also effectively reappear Hong Kong’s ideological building .

It is good that you have drawn real-life examples to understand the concept of disappearance. In fact, Abbas does not only argue the physical disappearance of buildings, the reappearance of certain iconic buildings (e.g. HK Cultural Centre, Flagstaff House…) indicates that disappearance could also occur when the context is overlooked during preservation.
