About “One-Day Literary Writing Lodge in Hong Kong Voices”:
On Saturday 15 December 2018, the Department of English at Hong Kong Baptist University, Cha: An Asian Literary Journal and PEN Hong Kong co-organised “One-Day Literary Writing Lodge in Hong Kong English”. Over 30 students in Hong Kong participated in the day-long event. The top four poems at the Lodge, selected by the instructors of the day (Tammy Ho Lai-Ming, Akin Jeje, Collier Nogues and Eddie Tay), are published in the Eleventh Anniversary Issue of Cha. Ivan Cheuk-yin Kwan’s “Bridge Talk” is one of the four selected poems, and it is about the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge construction controversy.

Ivan Cheuk-yin Kwan is a student in Sing Yin Secondary School. He is interested in how to express the beauty of our world using different facets of knowledge, such as mathematics, science and language. Though lacking in doctorates and degrees, he is determined to continue pursuing knowledge, not only to learn more about himself but to share the knowledge with others in an expressive way.
