Tsing Yi 青衣
Everyone knows Tsing Yi as the island the bridge passes over. Almost no one knows it as the island where a Song-dynasty pirate-hunter and a Fujianese sea-goddess have spent a century negotiating, with their own displaced worshippers, how to keep a promise.
I lived in Tsing Yi for a time—specifically at "Mayfair Gardens," the place mentioned in the fifth story of the text—and it left a deep impression on me.
青衣島：一座被三次搬遷的神明守護的島嶼
青衣不只是貨櫃碼頭與屋苑的集合。這裏的天后與真君，曾經三次遷移神位，卻從未停止守護——這是一座島嶼與其神明之間，跨越六百年的默契。
