For better or worse, Hong Kong is not the place it used to be. The book is about what Hong Kong was like before a series of decisive events changed the former British colony, once a cosmopolitan city where East met West freely. The pomp and pageantry of the 1997 handover was only the first act of a theatrical drama that now seems fanciful in the post-2019 reality. This book is a first-person account of the day when History came calling on Hong Kong. “The best non-fiction books combine the epic and the personal,” Canadian author Gordon Pitts writes in a review of Tea Before the Rain in May 2020. “Read this book to understand what Hong Kong is today.”
