A comment: Even for those who don't understand Cantonese, HK drama is
uniquely accessible because they often provide subtitles (Chinese,
English) as if it were a Chinese opera. Great idea. Recently saw "A
Bowlful of Kindness" about HK history seen through the conquest by the
Japanese rice cooker, a great show. This review forgets to mention they
also do Chinese subtitles, and not just English:

Hello, Gilbert. Thanks for your posting. Yes, please post a list of your
writings on Hong Kong drama. People are interested.

If you could tell us how we could get access to electronic copies of your
articles, that would be even better.

Thanks Gilbert, for reminding us about drama in Cantonese, and I would
say poetry as well.

Much of Hong Kong poetry also foregrounds and politicizes the use of
Cantonese.
