Intermezzo 4: Land

Eno Yim established and runs the School of Everyday Life in Tai Po, a district of Hong Kong. Eno is well known here as a creative and activist trailblazer, a visionary. Ka Lai says, I simply have to meet her, so we go. She takes me up up up to the school, which sits at the very northern part of the New Territories, at Tai Po (market) station. It is a beautiful, green, lush environment. The school is a long walk still further up from the station and is a huge old set of buildings built in the 1940s right after the end of World War II as a free school to help the children who were left parent- or family-less after the war. It seems aged and weathered but grand and is a cool welcoming presence in this humidity.
