Review:<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a striking stoicism among the shop owners, newspaper vendors, an artist, and a cultural gallery \/ developer in Julia Kwan\u2019s vivid portrait of the fading breadth of Vancouver\u2019s Chinatown as subsequent generations have moved out and the inevitable upscaling and gentrification of old neighbourhoods yield condos and trendy businesses aimed at a younger and more western clientele.<\/p>\n

No one in the doc says change is bad, but there is a lamentation that important pieces of the city\u2019s history is disappearing both physically and culturally, especially when shop owners are repeatedly entertained with million dollar offers by developers… and start to give in.<\/p>\n

Neither bittersweet nor a rallying cry for extreme action, Kwan merely presents detailed glimpses of an aging and already eroded community which in the coming years may only exist in isolated pockets as generic and trendy businesses & condos replace once-sturdy mom & pop shops. Kwan\u2019s message is very low-key but pretty obvious: one should measure change, and react to a neighbourhood\u2019s evolution with care and caution, lest precious history vanishes forever.<\/p>\n
