New Publication 新畫冊 (October 2025 / March 2026)
A new pictorial album: Three Years in Exile, by Fong So. The author started his self-imposed exile in 2020, a few months after the imposition of the notorious National Security Law in Hong Kong. After uprooting himself from his home city, he has experienced quite a lot. While struggling to adapt to a life in a different environment, he spent his spare time recording what he had encountered in the form of sketches and 139 pieces were compiled into a book. Explanatory notes were written to accompany the sketches, recalling mainly what he felt while compiling them. All materials for this book were ready two years ago, but, for various reasons, the project was halted. Now, thanks to the generous support of friends, the project has eventually been revived. Hopefully, the book will be off press in March/April 2026. (See Forthcoming in Portfolios)

新畫冊：《流離紀事》。此書作者方蘇於2020年國安法强加於香港之後外移，開始自行放逐的流離歲月。在離亂困厄中，他既要適應新的生活環境，也要盡可能持續繪畫。限於媒材，他主要是畫速寫。三年之間，他累積速寫百多張，選錄了139張結集成書，再加配文字，呈示他離港之後的經歷及所見所思。此書的圖文材料，兩年前已完成，但基於種種原因，一直擱置。現今得到朋友支持，出書計劃復甦。新書估計2026年三至四月間可以面世。

【微視蘋】畫作寫史、畫筆如刀 方蘇《抗命之城》描繪香港民主之淚
[Founded by Jimmy Lai in June 1995, Apple Daily was a newspaper published in Hong Kong. It was forced to shut down in June 2021, as a result of a crackdown by the Hong Kong SAR government, including the freezing of its assets and the arrest of its founder and senior editors/writers. Shortly after that, the sister publication of Apple Daily in Taiwan only kept its online operation. Lai was arrested in August 2020, allowed bail but revoked in December. After that, he was imprisoned in solitary confinement. Apple Online (Taiwan) ceased operation in 2022. ]
