Living in a village is like in a parallel world.
My home is a village house in the middle of high-rise building,
surrounded by small farmlands, still being managed by the dwellers.
It was a summertime when the surroundings goes different from my everyday's experience. At first, a big clean mattress with a stray dog resting on it. The second day, one more mattress appeared. At the end, numerous of mattresses appeared on the sides of roads on top of wild grass. Three months have passed, passengers have already accommodated the view. It was quite normal to have "sleeping areas" along the road.
With the limited land space in Hong Kong, Small House Concessionary Right (Ding Right) is always a controversial issue being discussed. The policy enacted in 1972 under British colonial rule, that allow any indigenous male villagers legitimately to build houses up to three storeys without having to pay a land-use conversion fee. This right is prone to be abused for huge profits and condemned as a discrimination, as all residents shall be equal before the Basic Law while most Hong Kong people are suffering from high property prices and shrinking living spaces.
I am not an indigenous resident and I am not a male.
Basic 7 Steps To Grow Plant
1. Selection of the good quality fabric surface is the primary stage of sowing. Find a site with no occupying creatures
2. Ploughing begins with the dissection of the mattress. Use cutter to penetrate through thick layers of polyfoam until to the coils.
3. Gather wet soil by digging your fingers into the fertile land.
4. Stuff the soil into the orifice that you have made, as much as you can.
5. Obtain wild plants and massage the roots
6. Resist the bouncing of the mattress and plant it at a proper depth.
7. Adopt laissez-faire and let the rain water the plant.
