"Memories of Tiananmen is a landmark scholarly work...Clearly written and rigorously argued, it is recommended reading for anyone interested in Hong Kong and its complex connections with mainland China. Based on a wealth of data and always nuanced and balanced in its arguments, the book itself represents a kind of monument to the collective memory of 1989 that is now rapidly being erased under the new political circumstances." - Sebastian Veg, The China Quarterly, Vol. 251, September 2022 ''[...]this is an excellent and rewarding monograph and should appeal to scholars working in Chinese studies, memory studies, media studies, political science, sociology, human geography and urban studies more broadly.- Andrew M. Law, Europe-Asia Studies, August, 2023, 75/7
