[Flower Market Period] "Roots, Leafs and Flowers" Reading Club

The Mong Kok Flower Market is believed to be a place that not many people have been to. Whether it is buying potted plants and gardening products on weekdays, or buying new year flowers during the New Year, the Flower Market is the place with the most choices. The history of Flower Market can be traced back to the 1930s before the war, or even earlier. From the flower market itself, it can also be extended to the changes of the urban space in the fruit area, and it can also talk about the rise and fall of Hong Kong's flower industry. In addition to history, the literary writing of the Flower Market is also an important element in creating this cultural landscape. Flowers, markets, communities, people who buy flowers, and the residents who live in this place and the memories of buying flowers here can all be good literary materials, each with its own thoughts and imaginations. Different writers use different styles to interpret the same flower market, and they will come up with different works. What kind of picture is the flower market formed by the interweaving of historical and literary perspectives?
