Description:This Hong Kong photographic memoir is based on the images and life story of Lee Fook Chee. Unknown in his lifetime, Lee died in 2012 assured that his treasured photos, a legacy he held with great pride, at last had been recognized. He knew that they would be published in 'his' book - this volume. Patricia Chiu's historical narrative is enriched by Lee's oral history. Together they take us beyond the general accounts of postwar immigration to the actual gritty realities of Lee's origins: as an orphan in 1920s Singapore, his arrival as a young seaman in Hong Kong in 1947, his subsequent photography business centered on The Peak, and his later life. Lee Fook Chee's photos portray Hong Kong during the 1950s. His images taken while he earned a hard-scrabble living selling photographs to tourists, were almost all captured between 1954 and 1960. They form a time-capsule of that decade of phenomenal change. During those year Lee Fook Chee, self-taught immigrant photographer, roamed Hong Kong. Camera in hand, independent and resolved, his own man.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
