This linguistic and cultural heterogeneity illustrates a distinct characteristic of Hong Kong culture—its amazing worldliness, which is a product of the influx of immigrants, the meeting of different cultures, and the rapid modernization of this port city.
In these poems, Hong Kong is represented as a place with a distinct urban flair and many inseparable connections with the rest of China.
His short story “Inter-section” captures the sense of disorientation and displacement of an immigrant, but as the Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai would probably agree, this story is more than a representation of an immigrant or a particular community; it is a general reflection on the time and place of Hong Kong in the 1960s.

 Washington University Law Quarterly: TRANSLATING FREEDOM FOR POST-1997 HONG KONG
Hong Kong's "mini-constitution" effectively gives China the authority to interpret its own "promises." Thus, China, not Hong Kong or the West, will be the ultimate arbiter of Hong Kong's freedoms.

In the 80's and 90's when Hong Kong felt itself to be at its most politically vulnerable, the question of "Hong Kong identity" was uppermost in everyone's mind.
It was essential that Hong Kong be perceived as a "special case", because so much of the argument about its post-97 autonomy depended on it.
Many commentators adopted a rhetoric of "postcolonial resistance", which in practice meant trying to define Hong Kong in terms of a set of binary oppositions (to Britain, to China), or speculating that it might be a special kind of "third space".
