07 | Autor: Hong Kong: Quest for the Dragon
In its corridors of traffic, in its seething alleys of ancient apothecaries, in its earthly rhythms and Promethean self, Hong Kong's uninhibited energy is clear as rice wine. But what cultural murmur runs through this island and its surrounding landscapes? What traditions galvanize the violent devotion to work and family here? To what can we attribute its citizens their longevity, constitution, unparalleled triumphs against enormous odds, and even their seemingly improbable success with environmental protection?

After World War II, this sputtering dynamo fired and forged into the pecuniary capital of Asia. While the population is overwhelmingly Chinese, the fusion of styles and sensibilities from around the area makes this an intoxicating cocktail of cultures. Here more intimately than anywhere else, civilizations have been thrown together. But two fundamentals tarry constant yet in healthy balance: the reverence for tradition, and the truculent pursuit of prosperity.
