Did you ever come up a verb or a phrase that you did not know the origin of, but used out of habit? That is the reason I choose the topic of collective unconscious as my final year project. I discovered that there are some habits that we speak naturally without any reason which make me wonder why and where does it came from and how does it become part of our life. So this is how my project began.

The book《港嘢》is pronounced ‘gong yeah.’ It’s a pun on the word 「 港 」and「講」, which sound the same in Cantonese. Together, the title can refer to ‘Hong Kong stuff’ and ‘speaking’ at the same time.

This project was created for Hong Kong people as not everyone is familiar with our own culture. I hope they appreciate it more after reading this book, as I have collected different interesting myths and stories about Hong Kong which have been bundled into four books respectively to cover our basic needs: clothing, dining, living, and travelling.

你知道我們的語言習慣也是集體潛意識建構而成的嗎？我們日常生活中有不同的俚詞或字詞會在言談間無意中説出，只知道這些字詞在已成了我們的習慣。我們很少探究它的來源或根本，因此，我想利用書這個媒介去告訴觀眾這些字詞背後的故事來源。

這套書名為「港嘢」，「港」取「講」的諧音，顧名思義是一本故事書，這套書共有四，冊分別是衣、食、住、行，目標受眾是香港人，因為發現部分人對香港的文化並沒有深入了解，所以搜集了有關香港各種有趣的字詞和句子的背後故事，並分別記載了在四冊書中。
