商品簡介
What would be Hong Kong’s fate after 1997? At times astute and uncannily prescient, at other times wildly imaginative, Lam Hang-chi’s daily editorials in the Hong Kong Economic Journal analysed and conjectured Hong Kong’s options at the time. His opinion sparked debates and frequently provided a focal point for the discussion on Hong Kong’s future; His views on housing, assimilating immigrants, the collusion of politics and business, issues that are foremost in Hong Kong today, still inform. For the first time, they are made available in English.

J. S. Kung, daughter of Lam, worked for Radio Television Hong Kong before becoming managing director of the Hong Kong Economic Journal between 1997 and 2003. She was educated at Newnham College, Cambridge; the University of Chicago; and the Thomson Foundation.
名人/編輯推薦
―Anson Chan, former chief secretary for administration of Hong Kong SAR
Mr Lam Hang-chi rightly became famous for the flair and fairmindedness of his editorial essays. Thanks to this very readable translation of selected columns, an international audience now has access to fascinating insights into the complexities of Hong Kong’s transition from colonialism. That his editorials remain worth reading so many decades after they first appeared is proof of Mr Lam’s superior brand of journalism. Most important of all, they remain a pleasure to read. What more can an editor be expected to provide his readers with! This is an important record of high-quality publishing in a most challenging environment.
―Leo F. Goodstadt, former deputy editor of the Far Eastern Economic Review and former chief policy adviser to the Hong Kong government
The experience of Hong Kong people in the late 1970s and the early 1980s are highly relevant to the present generation. China’s policy towards Hong Kong was not a clear-cut matter; it was one of exercising maximum flexibility within a rigid framework. Knowing what the rigid framework means and how to make the most of its flexibility is crucial for Hong Kong to exercise the highest possible degree of autonomy. There are indeed many lessons we can learn from what happened in this early period―mistakes, missed opportunities, righteous foolhardiness, etc.
―Steve Tsang, director of SOAS China Institute University of London
