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。

Tout le monde traverse le pont qui part de Tsing Yi. Presque personne ne sait que cette île négocie depuis un siècle, avec une déesse de la mer et un chasseur de pirates venu d’ailleurs, les modalités exactes d’une promesse tenue.
