Hong Kong's Tsang Tsou-choi, who styles himself the "Emperor of Kowloon," has been writing on utility poles, transformer boxes and other public installations all over the city since the 1950s, to protest the seizure of his clan lands. Although he has never known what art is, his use of written text to stake out territory is an important historical echo of how writing has been applied in Chinese culture.
香港的曾灶財從五十年代開始走上街頭寫字，他自稱九龍皇帝，不斷在電線桿、電箱等公共空間藉著書寫，抗議自己宗族被奪走的土地，雖然他從不瞭解什麼是藝術，然而這樣以文字立碑來佔領土地的行為，卻十足反映了漢字文化的歷史記憶。
