Product Information
In the heart of Beijing, a large digital clock marked off the seconds until July 1, 1997, when the red, five-star flag of China would be hoisted over Hong Kong and the grand but untried idea of one country, two systems would be put into practice. Farewell, My Colony is a real-time journal of the end of an era by an objective observer. American journalist Todd Crowell captures a unique moment in history as Britain stoically soldiers through the last months of its 156 years of colonial rule, China waits restlessly to resume its sovereignty, and Hong Kong buzzes with endless speculation. He tells how Hong Kongs Chinese and expatriates, taipans and cagemen come to terms with the impending change of rule. He mingles with the rich and famous and common people alike. A long-term resident, he votes in elections controversially called by Governor Chris Patten. He then follows the selection of a rival legislature, and of Pattens successor, shipping magnate Tung Chee-hwa, as the first chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The citys pulse is charted by his pen, through to the pomp, circumstance and partying of the day of handover itself. Now, 20 years later, Crowell has updated this valuable historical record with reflections on what has happened to Hong Kong since 1997.

- c***c (460)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaA reliable and professional seller offering a wide range of items. Not always the cheapest option but certainly a store upon which you can depend. My goods were dispatched promptly, packaged appropriately and, upon receipt, found to be exactly as described. Communication throughout the process was good and I'd have no hesitation in purchasing from here in the future.Possibility (Wonder & Imagination) 500 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle by Paperblanks Hardco (#146371979206)
- 3***a (329)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaThe book was sent well packed and arrived in good condition. The seller was extremely supportive and when l explained that this book did not contain the content that l was looking for l was given a refund which happened very quickly and l offered to send the book back but the seller told me to keep it which l thought was very generous of the seller. I have bought books from this seller before and always had good service and in the future l will purchase again. Thanks to a very good seller.
- u***D- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaThe item was promptly dispatched in time frame and was in very high quality condition when received. The recipient's name was unfortunately omitted although the address was correct. Very professionally packaged to ensure pristine condition of item. Wish the seller would communicate and reply more frequently to messages if possible on eBay. Otherwise good service overall. I recommend buying from The Nile for competitive prices.The Three Kingdoms of Korea: Lost Civilizations by Richard D. McBride II Hardcov (#135297480023)
