Poems of Everyday Life: A Tribute to Yasi City | Movie | Music | Poems

1 February 2016

Leung Ping-kwan, better known under his pen name Yasi, is one of Hong Kong’s most important literary figures. He was a prolific poet, novelist, essayist, translator, researcher, teacher and scholar, as well as literary, film and cultural critic. It has been three years since he left us, yet our memories of him keep him near and, once again, brought us together at HKU to celebrate his life and work. His writings about his beloved hometown of Hong Kong became the inspiration for a day of music, poetry, multi-media performances, food and other creative activities.
