This Sunday at the Fringe Club, as part of the Hong Kong International Literary Festival:
This event brings together two acclaimed non-fiction authors, Mark O’Neill and Patricia O’Sullivan, to explore the remarkable human stories that shaped Hong Kong’s past. O’Neill uncovers the influence of European and Irish communities, from visionary traders and teachers to the devoted French Sisters who cared for thousands of abandoned children. O’Sullivan, inspired by her great-uncle’s 1918 story, delves into the fascinating and often overlooked social history of colonial Hong Kong, focusing on the lives of Irish policemen and criminal women. Together, they illuminate Hong Kong’s diverse and complex heritage through meticulous research and captivating storytelling.
