Start at Page 19 of the pdf file for "Class, Mobility, and the Lai Family in Three Societies". If only Lai Chung Leung wrote a bit longer, the essay would have become something like Jung Chang's Wild Swans. An then Lai Chung Leung could have gone on to write an unauthorised autobiography of Mao Tse-tung.
ReplyDeleteI was shocked when I found that online.
ReplyDeleteIf you didn't tell me that, I would have asked you in my next comment how your essay ended up in that textbook.
ReplyDeleteOne more thing, Robert, I don't think your parents came to HK fifteen years before the Tian'anmen Incident 89年春夏之交的那場風波。[You wrote "had already left China" in your essay. BTW, why 15 years?] And you hadn't lived in all three places, at least not in China.
I know you were composing. There's no need to get serious about those.
Now that there's Occupy Wall Street; unemployment is close to 10%; the ultra-rich pay less tax than you guys percentage-wise; America is fighting two wars in Iraq & Afghanistan [if you assume the war in Libya is over] and has had its credit ratings lowered, what is your current thoughts about the three societies?
ReplyDeleteI dare not to read what I wrote many years ago. My parents, in real life, certainly went to HK before 1989.
ReplyDeleteAmerica is still the best place to be that's my thought.
