Introduction

摘要

We are in the heart of the city, across from the National Museum and from what used to be the Communist Party Headquarters (Stock Exchange, 1991-2000; currently, the Financial Centre). We enter through the wooden doorway. A tiled passageway leads us into the courtyard where light reveals the destruction inscribed on the tenement's walls: the trajectory of the falling bomb is marked in the severed back building. We walk into an awkward single-storey structure, beside the truncated stairs and through a heavy steel door.
