My Reading
On Wong Jum-sum’s bookshelves, there were numerous books. In this section, we have chosen on display 36 books that Wong read fervently in his youth. These books are of various size and shape, and look bewilderingly diverse at first glance. On them are records of a young man’s preferences. They also offer traces of the collective ethos of the time. It is this ethos that made the baby boomers generation such a peculiar brand of book lovers: embracing the classic and the contemporary, mixing East and West, transcending boundaries of high and low. Ten years later, these young people would dig deeper at the roots, look further to the West and irresistibly go Modern. History is written on these 36 books.
