Abstract
I am a native of Hong Kong. Born in 1963, I witnessed the tremendous economic growth of this small but lovely city. I shared the ups and downs that many Hongkongers experienced after the return of the British colony to China in 1997. Academically speaking, I received all of my education in Hong Kong. Truly, I am a “Made in Hong Kong” scholar, although I have always tried my best to keep up with my colleagues around the world.
