Book Preview:
#1 I have been through a number of moves myself, as a child and as an adult. I was born in the southern Chinese town of Swatow, now more commonly known as Shantou, on April 4, 1949. My family moved to Hong Kong about six months later, just before the Communists completed their takeover of the government.
#2 I grew up listening to my father speak Hakkanese, a language not widely heard these days. He was a professor and author who valued intellect, and he made studying hard a priority for his children.
#3 When my father arrived in Hong Kong in 1949, he was a lecturer in history and philosophy at Amoy University in China's Fujian Province. He had seven people in his family to support, including himself, and he lacked the money to do so.
#4 My father was a highly regarded academician in Hong Kong, but he never managed to get a high-paying position. Because he did not speak English, he could not teach at the British-affiliated schools where better salaries were attainable. Instead, he had to cobble together several jobs.
