As Hong Kong underwent rapid urbanisation, many villages were relocated, demolished or simply erased from maps. Today, memories of these villages are fading with time, teetering on the brink of oblivion. Through collections of oral history, archival documents and old maps, this talk revives the images of these forgotten villages, retells their stories and rewrites a collective memory of Hong Kong.
