The Pearl of Tailorbird

"As a foreigner in Hong Kong without proficiency in Cantonese, I listen attentively to the sounds that flow gently out of people’s mouths, holding something akin to an admiration for these sounds. However, before considering myself a foreigner, as a human being,there are languages that I will never be able to speak, one of them being the "language of birds." Still, living in this place that stretches out to the ocean like a perch, as I listened to the various songs of birds, I became fascinated of their language that flies over the threshold of human imagination.
