When I saw the book "Little Fresh Collection", I felt like I got a key, and I was about to open a fantasy world

"Little Fresh Collection" is a book that I would like to recommend to everyone. Apart from the lively and interesting stories in it and the kind and lovely illustrations, I would like to use this book to introduce the author of this book - Margaret Wu.

Anyone who has heard her name knows that she is a senior barrister and a former member of the Legislative Council. She studied at Cambridge University and Boston University for a doctorate in law and philosophy. She was a member of the Legislative Council when Hong Kong was still a British colony. With neat short hair, a neat suit and a pair of thick-rimmed glasses, her capable image has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Three years ago, she was arrested by the police along with more than a dozen pro-democracy activists for the Hong Kong anti-amendment movement demonstrations. When she entered the police station, she held "China's National Security: Endangering Hong Kong's Rule of Law?" Pages are covered in colorful Post-it notes on the impact of China's national security legislation on the rule of law in Hong Kong. At a time when personal freedom is in crisis, what she cares about is still society and the rule of law.

On April 18, 2020, she and more than a dozen pro-democracy activists were arrested by the police, holding "China's National Security: Endangering Hong Kong's Rule of Law?" in their hands (picture taken from Stand News)


So, when I read the book "Little Fresh Collection", it seemed that I had got a key, and I was about to open a fantasy world and spy on the fun behind the wise.
"Little Fresh Collection"


The work is narrated in prose, and among dozens of articles, I like "Flashlight" (the others are also very good-looking), because I can strongly feel her maverick style. She said in the article that even in an era when almost everyone "has a mobile phone", she is still determined not to use mobile phones, because she believes that the limited time must be used in a disciplined manner, and she must accept external harassment and neglect. The guests who came to meet were the reasons why she refused to use the phone, but she was forced to use the phone because of a trip. After several twists and turns, when she finally learned and used it successfully, her friends thought she was finally going to "modernize". He hit back to his original shape again, making people dumbfounded. The story is short, and you might think she's stubborn, but you can't deny her cuteness and intelligence.

The whole book is not long, and there are no political comments, and most of it is the interest in life that she discovered. Watching and watching, you will feel very comfortable, like a friend of yours sharing her daily life gently, if you like to eat, read her chapters on "Lemon Spaghetti", "Volcanic Ash and Burnt Pork Bones" The description will definitely make your index finger move. If you like to travel, "umbrella" and "tasting attitude" will enrich your historical knowledge, just like the title of the book "Little Fresh Collection", from the daily life of frying and cooking small fish. Looking at the world through trivial matters, one can feel her profound knowledge from the text. Her friend Director Xu Anhua also said: "This book is only a small part of what she knows, but it is already amazing."

May this book be an opportunity for everyone to get to know her and a woman named "Margaret Ng".


I hope to have the opportunity to share her story with you again~
