Author notes:

“I’ll clarify first that the background of the story is based on the period around 1982-1986 in Hong Kong, Malaysia, and the UK, which was already quite modern. All dialogues are in Mandarin because my Cantonese vocabulary is limited to a single word.”

“If you’re looking for a rich Hong Kong-style story, please refrain. This story doesn’t involve feuds between prominent families or large-scale criminal organisations. It’s simply about two people chasing and playing love games with each other.”
