The Past in Hong Kong
About This Novel
In 1956, 14-year-old Li Mo sneaked into Hong Kong with his mother to look for his father. On the way, his mother died and his father was nowhere to be found. A man traveling with him took him to seek refuge with relatives... By chance or necessity, he embarked on the road of stock speculation. This is the most arduous road, but as a young man who came out of a squatter area, this is the road that least requires identity, connections and resources, although this road is destined to be a success. From Tsuen Wan to To Kwa Wan, from Kowloon to Hong Kong Island, Li Mo moved forward in blood and tears, and grew up in mistakes and reflection. As he rises in fame in the industry, women, money, and sin all come to him. In the end, he discovers that speculation is an anti-human game. What he wants to defeat is never others, but himself. He has no intention of leaving his name in history, but times create heroes. The tide of history is turbulent. Some people stand on the top of the wave, while others sleep under the sand.
