The Cantopop stars she idolises are everywhere - their images are on every billboard and their music spills from shop speakers onto the streets. When she and her family move to England later that year, Emma-Lee's love of Cantopop will be pushed underground - the sound and symbol of her secret childhood identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMy Cantopop Nights \u003c\/i\u003eis the story of how Emma-Lee found herself in a Hong Kong bar twenty years later, listening to a Cantopop song and realising that this music was her inheritance. It's about suffering an identity crisis just as the city's post-colonial tensions erupt into protests. It's a story of uncanny coincidences, magical thinking and a quest to reconcile the different sides of her heritage: Hong Konger and British, Cantopop and indie.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIt's a story of falling in love with a city, its people and its music, while trying to find your own place to belong.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'An author of exceptional vision... for anyone seeking to understand how complicated, tender histories unfurl in our present - and how art emerges to help us through'\u003cb\u003e Jessica J.
