Lou Ting is one of the few myths about Hong Kong. According to the story, the human-fish characters fled to Hong Kong amid a Chinese civil war and settled on the coast, bringing with them their ways of life on the mainland. At the same time, they adapted to this place and forged a new sense of belonging. In the video, the Lou Ting quotes a line, “Although they lost the war, they strived to reshape their identity.” The amphibious form of Lou Ting recalls the Hong Kong people, who are constantly drifting between different cultural and sociopolitical terrains. 

Originally shown as a large-scale installation in the Hong Kong Museum of Art, where it was projected onto the museum's windows facing the panoramic view of Victoria Harbour. The work has been adapted to a seven-monitor display at Arion Press in San Francisco and gdm Taipei.
