This year (2025), on the 50th anniversary of my public service starting as an Administrative Officer in the Hong Kong Government and morphing into a politician, after many twists and turns, I am pleased to publish the ninth edition of my series of books entitled “Regina’s English Works for You”.The articles collected in this year’s “Regina’s English Works for You 9” fall under three broad areas: “Hong Kong’s Recovery and Resurgence” after our re-opening in early 2023, “Opportunities in the Greater Bay Area”, and “Emerging Rivalry between the East and the West”. The articles are a reflection of the global trends reshaping the world and life in Hong Kong. I hope readers can glean from these pieces some insight about the way the world is heading, and how we should position ourselves in a world transformed by “changes unseen in a hundred years”.I hope you will enjoy reading these fairly short and readable pieces and, in the process, learn one or two new things about mastering the English

The 3,000-year-old Yi’Jing – Book of Changes, the oldest and most influential of the Chinese classics, is unquestionably one of the most important books in world literature. The central concept of the Yi’Jing is “Heaven and Humanity as One”. It delineates the principles behind how man can live in harmony with nature by emulating the precepts of heaven and earth. This idea became the cornerstone of China’s traditional culture, the root source of all branches of knowledge and the most unique feature of Chinese civilization. From its original text of about 4,900 characters emerged the two main pillars of Chinese philosophy – Confucianism and Taoism.Although it began life as a book of oracles, and still remains a remarkable tool for divination, the Yi’Jing has evolved over the long years of Chinese history into primarily a book of wisdom. For more than 25 centuries Chinese emperors, statesmen and scholars have consulted the book as a standard resource on matters ranging from statecraft, wa
