This book, written by fourteen reflective scholars about living and learning from Hong Kong, builds on the growing interest of using “place” as text while providing a model of deepening cross-cultural encounters. Each chapter is written in a personal and experiential style, exploring Hong Kong through the lenses of a range of disciplines that shaped individual author's perceptions and encounters.

看電影容易，看懂一部電影卻需要慢慢咀嚼細味。電影以講故事為主，講甚麼樣的故事，悲歡離合，離不開身處的社會。觀眾從電影看社會，拍電影的，也需要關懷社會，了解社會， 洞悉人生，才能拍出感動人心的作品。觀眾能夠感動，其實就是因為電影將人生寫得透徹入微，讓看的人有共鳴。

不同人對同一部電影的理解不盡相同。導演趙崇基看了四十年電影，拍了二十年電影，也在學院教電影，對他而言，無論電影藝術如何改變，都離不開技巧、社會、人生這三種元素。此書是他的電影筆記，分為三部分，以電影語言中的三個景別：特寫、中景及全景，透過一篇篇的短文，談電影中的技巧，說電影中的社會，講電影中的人生。

榮獲「香港出版雙年獎」社會科學類別的「出版獎」

艾曉明教授裸胸抗議的照片，在防火牆內外的中文社交媒體上引發了憤怒、悲傷、驕傲、嘲諷、厭惡等情感，爭論中形成了支持或瓦解艾曉明教授抗議的不同社群。而葉海燕通過身體的、性化的、演繹性的、政治化的日常生活、社會行動和網絡寫作來改寫個人生命和改變社會。愈來愈多女權主義者用各種形式進行象徵性的抗議，引起社會上強烈的反應。

本書作者多年來在中國從事維權工作，雖曾被軟禁，但發聲不絕，更於2007年被美國《時代》雜誌選為全球100位最具影響力人物。作者從艾曉明和葉海燕開始，書寫中國知識分子、獨立電影導演、文人作家、藝術家等人在政治反抗者、社會運動活躍分子、「多餘的人」之間的角色中，面臨思想資源、行動力、審美趣味方面的困境和選擇。作者又提出完整地實踐、提升建立在尋求真理基礎上的自我關照能力，是當下中國人建立良心生活、貢獻社會改進的一種生存美學。

「我要創造，我渴望創造。」把自己的經驗，透過寫作，創造現實裏無法實現的生活，就是王安憶這三十多年來都在寫作的原因。

王安憶作為69屆初中生，有着比別人豐富的人生閱歷，經歷過知青生活，插隊落戶，這些成長經歷都為她帶來豐富的寫作題材，開展她寫作的漫漫長路。

本書收錄王安憶教授在香港城市大學舉辦的六課講座內容，分享了多年來自身的寫作生活，同時講述與寫作有關的種種—從閱讀生活領略到的文學樂趣到創作類型小說的細節結構，再從小說探索文字的奧妙。她更闡述了教授寫作實踐課的一些體會，如同手把手般傳授讀者寫作之道，極其可貴難得，對有志投身創作行業的青年人極具啟發性。
