Now I see fire
Inside the mountain
I see fire
Burning the trees
And I see fire
Hollowing souls
I see fire
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me

If this is to end in fire
Then we should all burn together
Watch the flames climb high into the night...

Excerpt from www.pmq.org.hk/heritage/history-of-pmq/:
The story began with the establishment of the Central School in 1862, the first government school in Hong Kong to provide western education to the public at the upper primary and secondary levels. Originally, the campus was built at Gough Street, north of Hollywood Road, but in 1889 it was renamed as Victoria College and relocated to a site at the junction of Aberdeen Street and Hollywood Road ―the locale of today’s PMQ. In 1894, the school was finally renamed as Queen’s College. The school buildings at Hollywood Road were severely damaged during World War II and was later demolished. The site was then reconstructed into the Former Police Married Quarters on Hollywood Road in 1951.
The Former Police Married Quarters on Hollywood Road was the first of its kind to provide official residence for the married police staff and their families. These included local ethnic Chinese rank-and-file officers amongst its intended users. It provided 140 single room units and 28 double room units as a convenient residence to officers serving at the nearby Central Police Station. It was left vacant since 2000.
In October 2009, the Former Police Married Quarters on Hollywood Road was preserved as one of the eight projects in the Hong Kong Policy Address’ initiatives - “Conserving Central”, which was implemented by the Development Bureau. In November 2010, the project was awarded to the Musketeers Education and Culture Charitable Foundation Limited, with the support of Hong Kong Design Centre, Hong Kong Polytechnic University and the Hong Kong Design Institute of the Vocational Training Council. The yearning for a space dedicated to creative industries in Hong Kong has led to the inception of PMQ. Today, PMQ has become the creative platform in supporting up and coming creative talent as well as fostering a community of patrons and lovers of creativity, design and heritage.

PMQ, Central, Hong Kong
PMQ is a site with several layers of historical significance. It has been revitalised as a hub for creative and design industries.
...History: Queen’s College and Police Married Quarters: In 1889, … This was the first school providing a Western education at the upper primary and secondary levels to Chinese students… In 1951, the site started its next incarnation as the Hollywood Road Police Married Quarters — the first dormitory for Chinese rank and file police officers….
...Revitalised as PMQ: … Architecturally, it represents the typical modern style commonly found in the post-Second World War period, which is characterised by a functional and pragmatic approach on elevations and interior layout, with minimum decoration and spatial articulation.
...Renamed as PMQ, the site is now a hub for design and creative industries…. Almost 100 design and creative enterprises are stationed in PMQ. Around half the tenants are in the fashion and household product design sectors with the rest in creative design categories such as fashion accessories, food, furniture, jewellery and watches, design services and design galleries. Exhibition space and event facilities are also available.

I must say that I have a little crush on Ed Sheeran, supremely talented voice. I'm going to see him play live in April :)
Ed Sheeran - I See Fire
Oh, misty eye of the mountain below
Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke
Keep watching over Durin's sons
If this is to end in fire
Then we should all burn together
Watch the flames climb high into the night
Calling out for the rope
Stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn on and on
The mountain side, hey
And if we should die tonight
Then we should all die together
Raise a glass of wine for the last time
Calling out for the rope
Prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn on and on
The mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky
Now I see fire
Inside the mountain
And I see fire
Burning the trees
And I see fire
Hollowing souls
And I see fire
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me
Oh, should my people fall
Then surely I'll do the same
Confined in mountain halls
We got too close to the flame
Calling out for the rope
Hold fast and we will
Watch the flames burn on and on
The mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky
Now I see fire
Inside the mountain
And I see fire
Burning the trees
And I see fire
Hollowing souls
And I see fire
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me
And if the night is burning
I will cover my eyes
For if the dark returns
Then my brothers will die
And as the sky is falling down
It crashed into this lonely town
And with that shadow upon the ground
I hear my people screaming out
Now I see fire
Inside the mountains
I see fire
Burning the trees
I see fire
Hollowing souls
I see fire
Blood in the breeze
I see fire
Oh you know I saw a city burning out (fire)
And I see fire
Feel the heat upon my skin, yeah (fire)
And I see fire (fire)
And I see fire burn on and on the mountain side
We will survive Covid-19...2020

元創方 PMQ, probably one of the most effective and successful (at least initially) urban conservation / revitalization projects in HK recent years.
"Our major task is to transform a historical compound (Police Married Quarters) and develop it into a unique hub of broad appeal to serve the evolving creative industries... to nurture local create-preneurs and designers... promote appreciation of creativity to the community."
"Funding for conservation and revitalisation works of the project approved by the Finance Committee of Legislative Council in July 2011."
"Conservation and revitalisation works for transforming the site into a creative industries landmark commenced in January 2012 and were completed in December 2013."
"The pre-opening of “PMQ” commenced in April 2014 and soft opening in May 2014."
PMQ, Hollywood Road, Hong Kong
My family barn burned last week. A fireworks cleanup mistake. Inside was a fully furnished apartment, stored furniture, mementos, lawn care equipment, my travel trailer...
No lives lost of any kind, the best news. Insurance will replace the property but not the memories. Out of the fire also came beauty. Strange color changes to the metal, cracking paint, erie displays. Zoom in.
I made lemonade...
If your interested, see the series; start at "I've Seen Fire - I".
