The book list is here . It was the plan of the “Enclave” bookstore that he and Zhang Jieping opened in Taipei. I have only read A Concise History of Hong Kong (John Carroll) and part of Patten’s autobiography ( First Confession: A Sort of Memoir , Chris Patten), Mr. Liang’s own “First Lesson of Hong Kong”, And Chen Guanzhong’s “My Generation of Hong Kongers”. The last governor’s writing is very good. Mainland readers should be most familiar with “Xu Jiatun Hong Kong Memoirs”.

would like to add:

  • Shi Shuqing’s “Hong Kong Trilogy” (her name is Butterfly, Bauhinia Bauhinia, Lonely Cloud Garden)
  • all of mike

I don’t know if Mr. Liang deliberately skipped fictional works. Indeed, Shu Ailing and the like may be too famous.
