d shakers of their day; ordinary people who illustrate some aspect of Hong Kong history; gangsters and scoundrels — even a few eminent failures. In short, the Dictionary is a kaleidoscope through which Hong Kong's many different faces over several centuries are revealed.
This collection of more than 500 specially commissioned entries is the first dictionary of lives spanning the whole of Hong Kong history. Ninety contributors, including prominent academics, journalists and other experts, have written entries for the collection. Although no single-volume dictionary can ever be comprehensive or definitive, the Dictionary of Hong Kong Biography will be an enduring work of reference for scholars and researchers and a source of pleasure for the general reader.
