19-20世紀的上海,就像20世紀中後期全盛期的香港,都是一個各方雲集的「白手套」。當時上海亂中有序,各國享有治外法權,反而造成了東方最繁榮的國際大都會,各種激進思潮都以上海為避難所,包括共產主義,都是利用上海發揚光大。這方面,和今日香港散播各種意識型態,也是如出一徹。追隨猶太大族沙遜家族起家的嘉道理家族,正是看準這裏的空間,配合自身的多元身份認同(猶太人+阿拉伯世家大族+英國籍+印度總部+中國職員),建構了一個龐大商業帝國,也在香港發揮了舉足輕重的影響力,究竟這段歷史是怎樣的?

I just completed reading the whole book. Very insightful and interesting. The whole experience is like watching the movie ‘The Hours’. History is intertwined and woven into the moment as we are today. While today may seem like an epilogue to bid farewell to things we held dear, but there is no doubt that will turn into a prologue for the distance future. Who could have imagined the aftermath of “Kristallnacht” as far away in Germany could be connected to and shaped part of history in Shanghai? History is not a standalone event, but a series of events that influenced the present and will continue to influence the future. The major insight we could get from this book is the difference in the decisions made by two families. A choice between stay and leave. We do not have a crystal ball to see into the future, but the choice alone had made the present of the two families with such drastic difference in outcome. Same goes for the people in Hong Kong. As far as people might think the prominent House Kadoorie have spoken out lately, they still maintain their decency and neutrality. It is a lesson so many in Hong Kong should take note from. Everything is about interests and gains. To prevail and survive, people should reckon on this.
