Description
Paul Au's Story: A Life in Music and Exile. In 1974, Paul Au was smuggled into Hong Kong from Saigon to escape the draft. As a young man, he had been influenced by American "hippie" culture and Rock and Roll. He began trading used vinyl records on the streets of Kowloon, eventually building an underground reputation for his eclectic selection. Au's passion for music brought him success in this new environment, where he could share his love of recorded sound with others. His story is one of resilience and adaptability, as he navigated a new life in a foreign land. This book tells the story of Paul Au's journey, from his early days in Saigon to his rise as a street trader in Hong Kong.
