Description
Tales from a Barren Rock offers a unique glimpse into life in Hong Kong during its final decades under British rule. The book presents over thirty stories from long-time foreign residents, covering a range of experiences from the daily running of a pool hall to adventures with triads and rioters. These personal tales are set against the backdrop of significant historical events and institutions, including Government House and St John's Cathedral. The writers share their own stories of life in Hong Kong, a place they loved and still love, which is revealed to be a complex and fascinating enclave on the South China coast. Through these stories, readers can gain insight into what it was really like to live in Hong Kong during this period, and discover the people and places that shaped its history.
