Benjamin Hao Presents: "Chuen Lung Circling"
Migration, Mobility, and Contexts of Everyday Life
Through site visits and interviews with residents, Chuen Lung emerges as a remarkable site of inquiry. Situated near urban centers yet maintaining a distinct sense of autonomy, the village embodies a cohesive narrative of community life and intergenerational continuity. While it stands apart, Chuen Lung is intricately linked to the broader development of Hong Kong, forming a network of connections that bridges the local and the metropolitan.
This community—comprising indigenous villagers, long-term residents, and recurring visitors—reveals a densely interwoven fabric of migration, education, and daily life. Movement, whether physical or social, flows in and out of Chuen Lung, yet the village remains a constant point of return.
Guided by interviews with five villagers and community members, along with collected archival materials and photographs, this project traces the patterns of mobility and connection between Chuen Lung and the wider world from the 1960s to the present day. It seeks to articulate the subtle relationships and evolving dynamics that define the village’s unique position within broader historical and social contexts.
