摘　　要：As a Hong Kong scholar,the author presents an insider’s analysis of Hong Kong’s development since its return to the motherland,showing the faith in Hong Kong’s prosperity in years to come.HONG Kong’s momentous return to China in 1997 bisected the course of my life.To escape poverty,my family had emigrated to Hong Kong from Shantou in the 1970s before China’s reform and opening-up drive kicked in.My early childhood was spent in wooden squatter settlements and on the streets of Hong Kong,helping my family to survive by selling fruit,noodles,and newspapers.The hard work of my parents and siblings for a solid decade elevated us to the middle class.My father survived WWII,had no schooling and never supervised my study;my mother dropped out of school after just a few years.With little to depend on,hard work was the only way to survive.
