Hong Kong: Pages From the Past
Trea Wiltshire
A forsaken fishing port on the remote fringes of Imperial China, Hong Kong was one of the many spoils of the notorious opium wars. Soon after its founding, Chinese compradors, Armenian entrepreneurs and Parsee traders were rigging sails and heading for its craggy shores. They brought with them a spirit of enterprise, energy and visionary skills and the entrepôt quickly spun itself a web of trade ? and a deserving reputation for innovation and survival. This is the story.
