书籍简介

小說 > 輕小說

Romanian student comes to modern-day Hong Kong and is unable to choose between the Romanian girl-friend he has left behind and a Chinese girl he meets at University. HK HOLLOW begins as a simple love story – love lost and love found – that records its bizarre elements in a matter-of-fact kind of way./ Carina and Guy are a young couple from Prague, studying in Amsterdam, who find themselves even more estranged when Guy leaves to spend a semester in Hong Kong. There, he meets Ling Fei-yan, a Chinese literature student. It doesn’t take long for Guy to notice how much she reminds him of Carina – and to start liking her.
