1	A Confident or an Alien: The Hong Kong/Formosa Intellectual Wan-chu Lee¡¦s and His Son Peter Nan-shong Lee¡¦s Views of China Li, Jia-hui 16 February 2011 (has links) Societies in Hong Kong and Taiwan (Formosa) are not familiar with each as they are separate colonies taken by Britain and Japan respectively. This study explores a rare string linking the two communities through Wan-chu Lee and his son Nan-shong. Their evolving views on China reflect larger historical and social background on one hand and yet demonstrate agencies in choosing and forming individual choices regarding both political identities and postcolonial possibilities on other hand. In particular, their multiple views on China are full of individual judgments mediating among China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong as well as between global and regional forces.
