A Chink in The Armour

內容簡介

For Hong Kong people, Sir David is best known for his acquaintances with numerous celebrities. As a knight educated in the UK, he has profound understanding about the English culture - "when one is speaking in English, there is no logic in using non-English words", so he always prefers "Peking" to "Beijing". But what stands out in the book is his passion for the Chinese counterpart. Being the founder of China Club, Shanghai Tang and China Tang in London, he voices out his grave concerns for the future of local culture: "the fact is that there ain't much Hong Kong cultural achievements to speak of."

Get to know a Chink in Armour in this book.
