A book is like a friend. We understand the world and life, or even observe ourselves through texts, and have a deep realization of oneself that we are not alone. PMQ invites different people from design and culture sectors to recommend a book, so that you can enrich yourselves as book therapy.

Why would you recommend this book?

In Hong Kong, homes for the elderly may be the heaven closest to hell.

The air is still filled with strong smell of urine in the lobby, the dull faces under the pale light with TV on plus a rigid 7/24 routine; if this happened in your last stage of life, who would live a long life?

Dignity is lost with old age. We often see that the elderly might be mistreated or abused. How to maintain a happy life at an old age?

Author 殷琦 documents the daily life of elderly care homes from the perspective of frontline elderly service workers, and interviews residents, social workers, and founders of elderly social enterprises to explore more possibilities for elderly care and rethink the rights and of the elderly.
