Coles Hong Kong 1973 - 1998: An engineer's experience at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
A roller-coaster ride to 1997 In 2020 China imposed its new 'Security Law' and broke the 'Joint Declaration' - an action which prompted the author to publish this memoir and dedicate it to the people of Hong Kong whose democratic aspirations have been so cruelly crushed. The beautiful maritime landscape, expatriate family life, local festivals and excerpts from an exciting construction career frame the tumultuous relationship between China and the U.K. Eyewitness accounts of the Tiananmen Square rallies, China's clampdown and how the Colony reacted are highlights. The narrative provides an insight into the pragmatic world of civil engineering contracting; engineering solutions are placed in Appendices intended for civil engineers. The author's involvement with the spectacular Tsing Ma Suspension Bridge - the longest road and rail span in the world - is fascinating and culminates with a vertigo inducing crossing of the temporary walkway. This personal experience provides a valuable insight into the way China behaves. It is a timely warning to Western Democracies.
