We had the good fortune to speak with reporter Isabella Steger of Quartz and formally of the Wall Street Journal. Born in Hong Kong and fluent in Cantonese, Isabella is able to translate the signs, symbols and slogans that at times remain indecipherable to outsiders who can't speak Cantonese or don't understand Hong Kong's complex history with Colonialism, Politics and Inequality. It's a fascinating chat.
