Big Cities
Fellowship of the Valley
Hong Kong has long been facing the need to build more housing to cater to its ever-growing population. Yet, a government plan to rebuild a large public housing estate has raised the awareness of Steve, an ordinary retiree, as the site for redevelopment will include the heritage of an old dairy farm built among a verdant valley in 1886. Realizing the farm is an important part of Hong Kong history, Steve and his fellow residents from the neighborhood decided to find a way to save not only the well-preserved architecture but also the magnificent old trees and endangered species of wildlife inside.
