EDITOR'S WORDS

Millennials in Hong Kong like us were raised in modern communities and did not have opportunities to experience life in the village. Although we would learn local history about the fishing industry from textbooks, many youngsters in Hong Kong are not familiar with the daily life of fishermen or even think they no longer exist in the modern days. Last year, news of the iconic Jumbo Floating Restaurant sinks in the South China Sea drew my attention, and since then I began to gather information about the history of marine-related businesses in Hong Kong. Visiting a couple of presently existing fishing villages and talking to indigenous people from these villages, I realised that we should pay attention to the preservation of local cultural heritage before they are marginalised by urbanisation.
