32-Primary Colors- Like John Travolta, or not.

Primary Color? My first impression is: Red, Blue & Yellow; but “…Like John Travolta…” Okay, it seems this photo is more appropriate.

The last residents in the estate, who defend ownership of their home against the landlord. Here it is one of the rebellion slogans on the banners:

I’m the indigenous people
Against demolition.
Stay till death

Since 2023, a few of them commenced the legal process to sue the landlord, but at the same time by the landlord. Many of those failed, remaining the last five people stayed in the abandoned estate.

The Courage of the minority to fight against wealth & power, for justice and self-dignity. This is the primary color I’ve seen from them.

33-Think Outside the Box- Like the corporate cliché, or not.

‘Think outside the box’ is a common idiom in the Design field, applicable to any aspect of creativity. The day I visited a Lingnan-style Chinese garden, I stood inside a pavilion on the pond & took this picture.
