A MODERN HISTORY OF HONG KONG
Book ID/图书代码： 06545004B07718
English Summary/英文概要： This major history of Hong Kong tells the remarkable story of how a cluster of remote fishing villages grew into an icon of capitalism. The story began in 1842 with the founding of the Crown Colony after the First Anglo-Chinese war - the original ’Opium War’. As premier power in Europe and an expansionist empire, Britain first created in Hong Kong a major naval station and the principal base to open the Celestial Chinese Empire to trade. Working in parallel with the locals, the British built it up to become a focus for investment in the region and an international centre with global shipping, banking and financial interests. Yet by far the most momentous change in the history of this prosperous, capitalist colony was its return in 1997 to ’Mother China’, the most powerful Communist state in the world.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书讲述了香港的主要历史，介绍了香港从一群荒僻渔村逐渐发展成为一个发达的资本主义殿堂过程中所发生的波澜壮阔的故事。故事开始于1842年，香港在中英-第一次“鸦片战争”后成为英属殖民地。作为欧洲的超级强权和奉行扩张政策的帝国，英国在香港首次创建了一个主要海军军港，也作为同天堂般中国帝国的贸易基地。和香港当地人一起，英国将香港建设成一个区域投资中心和集航运，银行和金融功能于一体的国际中心。然而对于香港来说，迄今为止最重大的历史变革，还应是在1997年脱离殖民统治返回祖国母亲－中国，这个世界上最强大的社会主义国家怀抱。(LNL)
