Repairing Bicycle in Hong Kong

by Sonia Duffy

A narrow service alley in Sham Shui Po glows with the hard, white light of a clear afternoon, illuminating a chaotic stack of plastic crates and a rusted metal cabinet latch where a heavy padlock secures the door. Beside the entrance, a worn woven mat lies flattened against the damp concrete, leading to a low wooden stool occupied by an elderly man repairing a bicycle chain with a socket wrench. His hands are stained with grease, and a small glass pitcher of tea sits precariously on a nearby ledge, catching the harsh sunlight. Peeling lime-green paint and exposed wiring, showing the gritty, functional beauty of a neighborhood where repair and daily routine intersect under the bright sky.
