In 2019, 4res and Handowin co-worked to create a zine series One Tale of Two Cities: Shanghai vs. Hong Kong, a comparison between two cities under a same topic. The first issue is independent bookstore.

4res is a graphic designer from Hong Kong. He is also a movie-goer and one of the founders of Zinecoop, a Hong Kong zine community. He ever self-published A Thin Booklet Issue 1-12 (a collective zine), Zinema Issue 1-12 (about movie review) etc. (https://4res.info)

This year, they amend and re-design this issue. It will be published very soon. Since this year, they group up to establish a temp team “Funky Zine Forest”. Through Handowin’s visualized stories, an incomparable world outlook could be recognized. 4res’ unique viewpoint and critical thinking differentiate him from others. Their cooperation will definitely spur sparks.
