Description
One Thousand Days in Hong Kong is a personal account of life in the city during the 1960s. Mark Harland recounts his experiences attending a British Army School in Kowloon, set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world.
The story begins with Harland's arrival in Hong Kong by cargo ship on a hot August night, and follows him as he navigates three consecutive years at St. Georges School. Through everyday events, Harland interweaves history, geography, and politics to create a unique perspective on colonial life.
