1.0 out of 5 stars By turns ghastly, silly, and without serious intellectual merit, 28 July 2006
By M. Lahm - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Colonial Hong Kong in the Eyes of Elsie Tu (Paperback)
Madame Tu has an undeniably unusual perspective on issues, and her service to the disadvantaged in Hong Kong is a well known matter of local record. That said, most of her observations are either trite, without foundation, or politically and intellectually biased. A previous reviwer wondered why Madame Tu is no longer sought by the HK press - the reason is that her views are predictable, largely irrelevant, and not news worthy. A reader looking for a picture of colonial HK life would do better to read one of the many memoirs on the subject, or better watch Suzie Wong - the pictures at least do some justice. Unless one is merely seeking a source of questionable validation for preconcieved views of HK (the US?) - this is a waste of time and money.

4.0 out of 5 stars A nice book, 24 Jun 2003
By "paul_szeto" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Colonial Hong Kong in the Eyes of Elsie Tu (Paperback)
Elsie spent her whole life helping those underprivileged and gained a high reputation. However, recently we seldom hear Elsie expresses her ideas in the mass media. What a pity !What's the problem ? I bet it's the problem that our media do not accept voices from the minority. Although I do not agree all the points of Elsie's politicial ideas in this book, I still think her ideas are incisive and peculiar. They're worth to think about. For those who are interested in Hong Kong social history or concern about the democracy movement, I recomnmend they should read this book. I bet they may have a more in-depth view to today's Hong Kong political situation after reading the book.
