In 1996, Graham Earnshaw began developing the website talesofoldchina.com as an ever-expanding information portal about Chinese culture and history. As interest in the site grew, it became clear that these largely forgotten stories of China’s fascinating past deserved a chance to connect with larger contemporary audiences. To address this need, Earnshaw Books was founded in 2007 as part of the Sin

omedia Group based out of Hong Kong. First specializing in reprints of old China classics, its focus has expanded to include original works on Chinese history and culture.

Brian McElney was born in Hong Kong in the early 1930s, and for more than two decades was one of the territory’s top lawyers. But in his spare time, he also put together one of the most comprehensive collections of East Asian antiques in the world, many of them spotted by him amongst the knick-knacks on Hollywood Road and Cat Street. His memoir, Collecting China, starts at the height of the Cultural Revolution in the mid-1960s, when it was just not known whether the Red Guards would storm over the border and start smashing up porcelain on the Mid-Levels. He also tells tales ranging from the Hong Kong of the 1930s through to the establishment by Brian of what is today the only museum specialising in Chinese antiquities in the United Kingdom - the Museum of East Asian Art in Bath.

This memoir offers a rich retelling of the political landscapes that defined his life and the challenge of adapting to a city and culture not his own, but which became his home. He played an important role in shaping Hong Kong’s identity - particularly in planning and initiating the rewriting of Hong Kong’s company law, an important element in ensuring the city’s strength and status as a major international financial and business centre today, corporate governance reform and the modernisation and computerisation of the Companies Registry.

Among the ins and outs of Hong Kong’s governance from the 1970s, through 1997 and into the 2010s, Gordon reflects on change, uncertainty and the anchor of his British roots.
