Macau is a city of stories. Everywhere you go in the city, everyone you meet in the city, there are stories – stories of identity, stories of connection. […] Macau has long yearned for such a book. It needs these stories to be told and it needs them to be told in the language of the lens.
By Rev. Professor Stephen Morgan, Rector – University of Saint Joseph
