Long Live the King (introduction)

We visited an exhibition of social activist and graffiti artist Tsou-choi (1921-2007) aka King Kowloon. Considered a bit insane, he lived a pauper's life despite his belief that his birthright made him the King of Kowloon. His street graffiti was a life long expression that HE was the true monarch and not the Queen of England. His unwavering conviction in this belief and courage to make these very public statements was quite moving and inspiring.
