Mencius says, "A gentleman creates a business and passes it on, so that it can be continued." From ancient times to the present, whether emperors, generals, or ordinary people, they have all worked hard and thought hard to build a business to pass on to their children and grandchildren. Hong Kong, a small place with few natural resources, was able to rise to become an international financial metropolis precisely because countless families worked together and actively built their businesses, resulting in generations of succession. This book selects some of the most representative cases for in-depth analysis, to understand their characteristics and connotations, and will focus on exploring how Chinese families rooted in Hong Kong, a former British colony, have achieved breakthroughs in the collision of Eastern and Western cultures, and written legends.
