We read history, but we cannot read history.

 ____________________________________________

It will never be edited to restore the true social and economic situation of Hong Kong from 1841 to 1941 . 

In middle school history class, we read a brief history of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, including the Opium War, invasion by foreign powers, and Sun Wen's Rebellion. However, how much was mentioned about the history of Hong Kong other than the cession to Britain from an unequal treaty?

I was born here, but I don’t know the history of this place. Why? This book begins with the Opium War, which extended during the Age of Discovery, and ends with Hong Kong becoming a British colony with strong ships and powerful artillery. It outlines the intricate relationship with the Qing government from the education, business and medical policies in the early days of the opening of Victoria City, and extends to Later, the Revolution of 1911 broke out and the War to Defend Hong Kong began... How did Hong Kong become what it is today?

History is written by those who research deeply, seek truth and discard falsehood.

// Understanding the history of Hong Kong, you will naturally discover the loveliness of this city. Don’t let others interpret the past. Draw your own vision of the future. //
