商品簡介 |
A newspaper report is the first draft of history. Over the past four decades, reporter Kevin Sinclair has covered the unfolding story of Hong Kong and China. Many of those events are those in the history books. What were front pages stories �X like the Cultural Revolution, the unveiling of organized corruption in Hong Kong, the foundation of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the building of the Mass Transit Railway, the changeover from the British colony to a Chinese Special Administrative Region, typhoons, landslides, tidal waves of refugees, the ever-changing Hong Kong skyline, the fight to provide housing, the evolving education system are all now history.
This book covers a vibrant, exuberant society that in the 1960s lived on the edge, emerging from poverty and the unknown terror of what was happening across the Shenzhen River. It reflects the uncertainty, the joy and the lurching path towards progress and prosperity. It tells the story of the men and women who built the New Hong Kong laying a fresh framework on the strong foundations left by 156 years of British rule and of the partnership between colonial rulers and a largely willing population happy to exist in peace. |
