New Culture
Young Wong Jum-sum loved writings and books. For such a young boy, Hong Kong of the 1950s was like a fairyland. Here he bumped into his many and varied loves-of-his-life: detective novels, comics, Children’s Paradise, The Chinese Student Weekly, The Blue Book, Broker Lai, Sam So, Sister Thirteen, Chien Mu, Bertrand Russell, Chang Cheh, Arnold Toynbee, Chinese boxing, martial arts fiction, OK Hits, Japanese films, English drama. Slowly he realized that what he loved, the whole city collectively loved. Later he knew, in a land often called the ‘cultural desert’, there actually were flowers everywhere, and very bright too.
