Diamond Hill by Feng Chi-shun
Feng’s memoir Diamond Hill describes an era of gambling and gangsters, Suzie Wong and squatter villages, fires and food stalls, and the Kowloon Walled City and its white powder. “A time when people were poor, but life was rich,” he says. The world that he grew up in no longer exists, but his book – the first ever on the Diamond Hill refugee settlement, in either Chinese or English – offers a candid picture of what life was like for most Hong Kong residents in the 1950s.

Jonathan Chamberlain’s King Hui: The Man Who Owned All the Opium in Hong Kong
In the years before the latter’s death at the age of 79, Jonathan Chamberlain spent an evening a week recording the stories told by Peter Hui. The resulting biography tells, in Hui’s own words, of scandal and corruption, drugs and pirates, triads and flower boats; of Japanese invasion and Communist intrigue; the real story of Hong Kong, told with the rich flavours of the street.
