Publisher Description:

In commemoration of the Hong Kong handover 20th anniversary, this book is a time machine that walks you down the memory lane. After decades of working and living abroad in England, Canada, Australia, and Northern China, five Hong Kongers finally come together in Hong Kong, their hometown again and rekindle the comfort of their old home, sharing unforgettable collective memories they experienced as they grew up in the delightful last days of the British colonial period in Hong Kong. With the brilliant illustrations of classic landmarks like the Kai Tai International Airport, the old Queen's Pier in Central, and the landscape of the old Kowloon City District, The Summer of 1997 recaptures the beautiful Pearl of the Orient in the 1990s, the former British Colony in the last century.
