Maisy Mok, 22, a student studying international journalism, in her 9 sq meter bedroom. Mok lives with her dad who sleeps on a couch as the apartment is too small. "I feel I could never let go of freedom of speech. I feel like the judiciary system in Hong Kong is pretty good. And I love political satire, these are the things that got me into journalism and politics.
Student Ruka Tong, 21, shares her 11 sq meter room with two of her sisters. Their Parents live in the same apartment. Until last year, the family of five lived in a 28 sq meter room. "You see me always at work to earn more money to buy a flat. I work seven days a week in five jobs. One office job and four jobs giving tutorial classes. Just 2-3 hours resting time. I need to earn more money to save for academia and for my family.". Hong Kong, China.
John Wai, 26, an engineer, who lives with his parents and a sister, poses for a picture in his 7 sq meter bedroom. "What makes me angry is that the government allows mainland people to buy those very limited resources of land. The property agencies drive the prices so high that we cannot afford them.".

Law student Ruby Leung, 22, who lives with her mother and domestic helper, poses for a picture in her 7 sq meter bedroom. "They promised to have a one country, two systems for 50 years, so people panic about what will happen in 50 years. Will they continue this, or will they just assimilate us into part of China, like a district in Shenzhen? That's very scary.". Hong Kong, China.
Peter Chang, 23, a social entrepreneur who shares his room with his father, poses in his 5 sq metre bedroom. Venting his anger over the government's immigration scheme that settles mainland Chinese in Hong Kong, he said, "They are attempting to dilute our identity through the Great Bay Area scheme."
