Alchemy (Volume I) is finally here! For four years, these stories lived in recordings, transcripts, late‑night memories, and half‑finished drafts. Now they’re out in the world — the real Macao, the one we lived, the one we survived, the one we still laugh about. If you were there, you’ll feel it. If you weren’t, you’re about to step into a world that changed everything.
​
Alchemy captures the untamed spirit of Macao during the tumultuous years between 2002 and 2020, told by over forty of the colorful characters who lived, worked, gambled, schemed, and triumphed under the city’s neon glow. It follows the intertwined threads of ambition, passion, and intrigue, painting a vivid portrait of a place reinventing itself faster than anyone could keep up — a city in constant metamorphosis, and a community riding the wave together.
