During the late 19 and early 20th centuries, it was a meeting place for the Chinese revolutionaries notably Tse Tsan-tai (Xie Zantai, 謝纘泰) and Yeung Ku-wan (Yang Quyun, 楊衢雲 ) for discussion of political affairs and plotting rebellions that eventually led to the downfall of the Qing dynasty. Yeung Ku-wan (楊衢雲) founded Foo Yan Man Ser (Furen wenshe, 輔仁 文社, “Literary Society for the Promotion of Benevolence”) (the Society) in the premises of No. 1 Pak Tsz Lane on 13 March 1892, and the Society’s motto was “Ducit Amor Patriae” (in English: “Love of country leads [me]”). The sixteen members of the Society , who always held meetings in private to discuss political issues and the future of China, had all been educated in Hong Kong and most of them were employed as teachers or clerks in government offices or shipping companies. Several of these men joined Hsing Chung Hui (Xingzhonghui, 興中會, “Revive China Society ”) when it was founded in 1895, and Yeung was the President of the Hong Kong bra nch of Hsing Chung Hui. Yeung Ku-wan was shot dead in his residence in No. 52 Gage Street, at the end of Pak Tsz Lane. The murder took place in the evening of 10 January 1901, when he was holding his English class for boys.

  • A Study of the David Sassoon Industrial School
    Volume 11, July 2020 ISSN 2581-5504 “Formulating recommendations to David Sasson Industrial School on the choice of appropriate strategy to help the Juvenile residents” Abhishek Chatterjee LNJN National Institute of Criminology and Forensic Science Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION In welfare state, the major responsibility for setting up correctional institutions for promoting the physical, cultural and emotional growth of children rests primarily with the state and state only. When the family is disrupted and disintegrated, the children fall into antisocial ways and the need arises for keeping them in correctional institutions. A correctional institution for youthful offenders is a place for care, treatment and social re- education of the juvenile who get into trouble with the law. In order to treat antisocial behavior, it becomes expedient to take the child out of his environment and place him in a correctional institution. Such correctional institutions were pioneered by the voluntary organizations in the former State of Bombay. The David Sassoon Industrial School, Bombay (Mumbai), is a juvenile correctional institution managed by the Children’s Aid Society, a voluntary organization. Statements of the problems In 1832, David Sassoon (1792-1864) and his family arrived in Bombay (today Mumbai) after fleeing the persecutions of the ruler of Baghdad, Daud Pasha. This wealthy merchantman, who founded a dynasty known as the “Rothschilds of the East”, was also named the Prince of the Exilarch. David Sassoon began his sojourn in Bombay at 9 Tamarind Street (today non-existent) within the precincts of the city (the Fort walls were destroyed in 1862). He soon moved to Byculla’s bungalow Sans Souci, a former palace named Shin Sangoo, (today Massina Hospital); he also spent the summer months in his second home in Poona (today Pune).

  • Discriminatory Zoning in Colonial Hong Kong: a R Eview of the Post-War Literature and Some F Ur Ther Evidence F Or an Economic Theor Y of Discr Imination Abstract
    Discriminatory Zoning in Colonial Hong Kong: A r eview of the post-war literature and some f ur ther evidence f or an economic theor y of discr imination Abstract TYPE OF PAPER: RESEARCH PAPER STRUCTURED ABSTRACT Purpose: This paper argues that racially discriminatory zoning in Colonial Hong Kong could have been a form of protectionism driven by economic considerations. Design/Methodology/Approach: This paper was based on a review of the relevant ordinances, literature, and public information, notably data obtained from the Land Registry and telephone directories. Findings: This paper reveals that many writings on racial matters in Hong Kong were not a correct interpretation or presentation of facts. It shows that after the repeal of the discriminatory laws in 1946r, an increasing number of people, both Chinese and European, were living in the Peak district. Besides, Chinese were found to be acquiring land even under the discriminatory law for Barker Road during the mid-1920s and became, after 1946, the majority landlords by the mid-1970s. This testifies to the argument that the Chinese could compete economically with Europeans for prime residential premises in Hong Kong. Research Implications: This paper lends further support to the Lawrence-Marco proposition raised in Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design by Lai and Yu (2001), which regards segregation zoning as a means to reduce the effective demand of an economically resourceful social group. Practical Implications: This paper shows how title documents for land and telephone directories can be used to measure the degree of racial segregation. Originality/Value: This paper is the first attempt to systematically re-interpret English literature on racially discriminatory zoning in Hong Kong’s Peak area using reliable public information from Crown Leases and telephone directories.
