Summary: It is 1987 and three years since Britain signed the Joint Declaration agreeing to hand over its last colony, Hong Kong, to China in 1997. With that declaration comes the promise that the city will remain unchanged for fifty years. But upheaval is already happening in Diamond Hill. Once the 'Hollywood of the Orient,' it is now a shanty town and an eyesore right in the middle of a glitzy financial hub. Buddha, a recovering heroin addict, returns home to find the shabby neighborhood being bulldozed to make room for gleaming towers. Buddhist nuns, drug gangs, property developers, the government and foreign powers each have itchy palms, and all want a piece of Diamond Hill.

It is 1987 and three years since Britain signed the Joint
Declaration agreeing to hand over its last colony, Hong
Kong, to China in 1997. With that declaration comes the
promise that the city will remain unchanged for fifty
years. But upheaval is already happening in Diamond Hill.
Once the 'Hollywood of the Orient,' it is now a shanty
town and an eyesore right in the middle of a glitzy
financial hub. Buddha, a recovering heroin addict, returns
home to find the shabby neighborhood being bulldozed to
make room for gleaming towers. Buddhist nuns, drug gangs,
property developers, the government and foreign powers
each have itchy palms, and all want a piece of Diamond
Hill.
