"This is a wonderfully evocative account of the experiences of a deeply feeling, highly effective "colonial servant" who has served the people of Hong Kong with joy, affection and humour all his life. Lord Wilson of Tillyorn, former governor of Hong Kong (1987-1992) Denis Bray writes about how Hong Kong changed from a postwar grub.

Bray, uniquely placed at the most senior level of government, tells his part in how it all happened. Robin Hutcheon, former editor of the South China Morning Post
