Ming's most coveted title is probably "Captain, Guarding Team of Literary Public Toilets in Hong Kong". He draws a map showing all the public toilets in Hong Kong. He keeps a literature in the water closets. He does not get along with his family and colleagues. His world is like a world of suppression depicted in a Polanski film. He sees that his neighbor, a young woman, is very lonely and quietly he puts a copy of Mrs. Dalloway by her side to keep her company. Ming may appear to be a weird fetish, but his unusual actions are guided by pure kindness and romance.
