LIVE AND TELL YOUR STORY

It’s here! The Chinese edition of Louisa’s bestselling book will be launched at this year’s Hong Kong International Book Fair, which will commence on July 16th!  Louisa is privileged to be invited to a series of inspirational book talks for selected new authors organized by The Commercial Press (HK) Ltd. and sponsored by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council on July 21st.

Founded in Shanghai in 1897 and established in Hong Kong in 1914, The Commercial Press is the oldest modern publishing house in China; it has profoundly influenced the history of modern Chinese cultural and educational publishing. Today, it is the only cultural enterprise in Hong Kong that has spanned more than a century and continues to flourish with 18 retail shops in Hong Kong. Come visit their stores and buy a copy of the book!

The Chinese edition celebrates the enduring legacy of the Walled City, where Louisa was born, and the power of human resilience. Though the physical walls may have crumbled to dust long ago, the spirit of community, kindness, and unwavering determination live on.

Louisa is honored to be joined by a talented lineup of artists who have drawn inspiration from the Walled City to share their views. Among them is Hong Kong artist Bianca Tse, renowned for her awe-inspiring reimaginations of the Walled City using AI on Instagram.

Hello, Philippines! I’m so grateful to learn that Women Who Chase Butterflies is now a certified Fully Booked Bestseller in the Philippines! For any author, achieving bestseller status is a privilege and a blessing that empowers us to continue telling our stories. There is no ugly story.

What an amazing journey it has been for Women Who Chase Butterflies. It all began as an emotional journal on my iPhone, tracking the footsteps of a naive girl growing up and driven by an insatiable curiosity for life and adventures into the unknown.

I am still that girl today!

On this day of gratitude, I would also like to wish everyone a blessed Easter filled with faith, hope, love, and an abundance of butterfly moments!

Lots of Love,
Louisa
