Epilogue Available to Purchase

The epilogue performs a final act of unruly comparison by juxtaposing Jun Li’s Drifting (2021), a film on homelessness and queer intimacies in post-2019 Hong Kong, with Eric Yip’s queer poem “Fricatives” (2021). The chapter presents Li’s film as an unlikely queer Sinophone text that accentuates feeling of homelessness, queerness, and subterranean resistance in post-2019 Hong Kong and reads it in comparison to Yip’s poem. While the film hails into being the Hong Kong queer undercommons through a not-so-subtle critique of post-2019 Hong Kong as a police state—imagining queer kinship among homeless men, a mentally challenged youth, a sex worker, and a former Vietnamese refugee—Yip’s poem further connects Hong Kong youth, queerness, and interracial imperial desire by writing a post-2019 queer Hong Kong diaspora in Britain. Both texts offer a queer Sinophone imaginary that ultimately unknows Han-centric raciality, Hong Kong, and queerness.
