colourful and extraordinary, and this early period of adapting to Chinese sovereignty is especially important. This book tells what I have seen and experienced, living in Hong Kong through this historic time.
I have been greatly helped in trying to understand the city's complexities by my friends Elfed Roberts, Richard Tsiang, Clive Chan and Anthony Go, and especially by my chief Hong Kong guide, Phillip Bruce. The Australian Financial Review's editor- in-chief during the writing of this book, Greg Hywood, editor Deborah Light and foreign editor Derry Hogue have been strongly supportive. My publisher, Peter Browne, has been posi- tive, patient, and correct in his judgments, as has editor Richard McGregor. And my wonderful wife Jan McCallum went the extra mile to support me through the awkward period when it must have seemed that I was married to my computer.
This book is for the two Roses, EJ and Jan.
