More Than 1001 Days and Nights of Hong Kong Internment is the wartime journal of Sir Chaloner Grenville Alabaster, former attorney-general of Hong Kong and one of the three highest-ranking British officials during the Japanese occupation. He was imprisoned by the Japanese at the Stanley Internment Camp from 1941 to 1945. During his internment, he managed to keep a diary of his life in the camp in small notebooks and hid them until his release in 1945. He then wrote his wartime journal on the basis of these notes. The journal records his day-to-day experiences of the fall of Hong Kong, his time at Stanley, and his eventual release. Some of the most fascinating extracts cover the three months immediately after the fall of Hong Kong and when Alabaster and his colleagues were imprisoned in Prince’s Building in Central and before they were sent to the camp, a period little covered in previous publications. Hence, the book is an important primary source for understanding the daily operation

We were at the peak of these times—there was a feeling of being abandoned, as if we had become orphans of the times. —Bei DaoWith essays from:Xu Bing．Bei Dao．Zhai Yongming．Zhang Langlang．Han ShaogongAh Cheng．Wang Anyi．Li Ling．Deng Gang．Wang Xiaoni．Huang ZipingThis is a powerful collection of essays that re-examines a pivotal and often misunderstood decade in modern Chinese history. Originally edited by acclaimed poet Bei Dao and literary critic Li Tuo, this book pulls back the curtain on a decade often seen as a void between Mao’s rigid control and the explosion of Deng Xiaoping’s reforms. But for this generation, the ’70s was a crucible—the time they came of age and fought to find their own voices.Many of the writers and artists represented here were sent to the countryside as “educated urban youth.” They were both participants in and victims of the Cultural Revolution. Through a series of unfiltered portraits and vivid impressions, this book reveals what it was like to be young, rest
