The traditional "three trades" refer to the three trades of construction -- stonemasonry, carpentry, and bamboo scaffolding. With the modernization of construction technology, plastering and painting have also become important trades included in the "three trades" in a broader sense. Research on the history of modern Hong Kong generally revolves around macro-level political and economic discussions. To understand life of the grassroots class, one needs to rely on word of mouth, but in-depth analysis is often lacking. This book takes the earliest workers in the "three trades" who came to Hong Kong to make a living in the 19th century as the research object, observes how they struggled to survive and passed down their skills in Hong Kong, how their unions were established in Hong Kong, how they gradually declined, and what their relationship was with Hong Kong's social and economic development. The development of the "three trades" unions and the experiences of the workers are a story that represents Hong Kong's growth. How traditional industries respond and adapt to Western culture is also a reflection of Hong Kong's modernization process.

The lyrics of Jimmy Lo have always been loved by literary enthusiasts and readers, but there has never been an official collection published. This year marks the 40th anniversary of Lo's debut in the lyrics-writing, and the editor takes this opportunity to compile a book, hoping to let readers appreciate Lo’s efforts and vision. The book is divided into three parts. In Part 1 "Critiques on Jimmy Lo's Lyrics", there are four essays. The first three are the editor's comments on Lo's lyrics at different stages; the fourth is the editor's notes on the different versions of several lyrics. These essays are expected to guide readers as they re-examine Lo’s lyrics. Part 2 "Jimmy Lo Talks about Lyrics" is divided into two parts: "Cultural Products and Lyrics" is a series of newspaper articles written by Lo himself in his early years; "Bits and Pieces Behind the Lyrics" is Lo's own words about the creative journeys of certain works, which were not included in his book "Behind the Lyrics - Revised Edition" published last year. Both are of great reference value. The last part "Jimmy Lo's Selected Lyrics of Two Hundred Songs" covers twice as many lyrics in the title "Behind the Lyrics - Revised Edition". The selected works not only focus on Lo's excellent works, but also manifest his writing styles in different periods and his attempts to write about various themes. The end of the book includes the song list of "Behind the Lyrics - Revised Edition" for readers' reference and comparison.
