Gweimui’s Hong Kong Story (電子書)

She crossed from France to Hong Kong for her true love, stepped into an unknown world with……amazing wet markets, the pace of life, a funny title “lou-po”(wife). This is a journey of a French young woman turning into a Honghonger. From the bizarre wet market to colourful decorations for local festivities, Christine invites you to enjoy her daily adventures in a Chinese society which she calls home.

Christine Cappio was born in Lyon, a city in east-central France. She went to Paris in 1983 to study Applied Arts in Ceramics, where she met a young Chinese man who later became her husband. She has been living in Hong Kong since her arrival in 1986. Being able to speak Cantonese has helped her integrate into the local community and this vibrant international metropolis.
