The book is written by the Centre's associate director Professor Victor Zheng and Dr Gao Hao, director of the China Wealth Management Research Center of the Tsinghua University. The two authors delve into different historical documents, and through analyzing the ups and downs of the various business families, systematically investigate the twists and turns that the Hong Kong society went through during the period 1841–1941. The families being studied include those of Koh Man Wah, Li Sing, Shou-son Chow, Ho Tung, Kai Ho, Kadoorie and José Pedro Braga etc. The authors expounded on how these celebrity families opened up the business environment of Hong Kong, participated in the construction of the society, as well as how they exercised their profound influence on political issues. Contents relating to inter-family marriages, co-operation, inheritance, maintenance of family power, interaction with the society are also incorporated in the book.
