A shiny sword, a stack of red packets, old Chinese books and brochures, a wooden folding fan, a souvenir mug, and faded photos of seniors – all are carefully displayed on a large round table draped in a red cloth. Nearby sits a Mahjong set, its colourful tiles arranged mid-game, as though the players have stepped away just before declaring victory. Large illustrated maps hang on the walls, pinned alongside drawings, photographs, and a sea of handwritten sticky notes.
