Description
Preface reads: I cannot remember exactly how I met Liu Kin-Ming, but I was suddenly having lunch with him and he asked if I would write a regular English column in the Chinese Apple Daily, of which he was editor. I readily agreed. I had always fancied myself as a writer. But I also knew it required discipline and effort. I was right. On the occasional week, I did not want to write anything; or I did not feel inspired to write anything. Nonetheless, I persevered for the best part of 18 months. I have enjoyed the exercise. There was a feeling of satisfaction. It also prepared me for the experience of writing, which I soon learned not to be an easy task. In this anthology, I have included those articles which I hope might sustain a second reading. I have craftily included photographs to reduce possible monotony. And I have had the good fortune of prevailing upon Chris Patten to write a Foreword to this slender collection. So I hope there is enough meat from all this to be passed off as a book. If not, I would be singularly guilty. Needless to say, I am much in debt to Liu Kin-Ming and the Apple Daily and Next Media - partiarly Fanny Lo, Ting Ting Chon and their team on whose off work hours I made many intrusions. I would also thank all my supportive friends and readers at large, who regularly wrote to me with encouraging words - and last, but not least, the last Governor of Hong Kong who might well have committed perjury by penning the Foreword.
