Fi Fi Yeung is in control of her job at the Kiangsu Bank, of her family and of herself. Then into this organized world steps the forceful Mr Moore. As Fi Fi gets to know her new colleague, she begins to think of a different future. But change is sweeping through the bankˇ¦s headquarters in Queenˇ¦s Road Central, and Fi Fi is in control no longer.
The eight stories in this collection explore romantic relationships against the backdrop of Hong Kongˇ¦s crowded streets. A morning walk, a tram ride, a court case, a demonstration, or just the office routine, bring the characters together and provide the setting for their encounters. The unique spirit of the city pervades the stories and plays a part in their resolution.
