Robert Wang fled the Chinese civil war at the age of five and came
to Hong Kong with nothing. The colony was a harsh place in the
1950s and 1960s. But he was determined to rise to the top -- and
through hard work and resolve, he got there. The law firm he
founded grew into the city's fifth largest. With the clock ticking
towards the hand-over of Hong Kong to China, and no one knowing
what the end of British rule would bring, Robert hatched an
audacious scheme to safeguard the fortunes of Hong Kong's richest
tycoons. He would convince Singapore to take them in. At last, he
was walking with kings: dealing one-on-one with the most powerful
businessmen and politicians of Hong Kong and South-east Asia. It
was an exhilarating experience -- but climbing so high has its
dangers. After unwittingly offending the wrong power brokers, he
was cast aside and left to defend himself against the damnation of
corporate rumours. Robert's rags-to-riches story offers a rare look
inside the unimaginably wealthy world of Hong Kong's property
tycoons -- men such as Li Ka-shing, Cheng Yu-tung and Lee Shau-kee
-- but also, as he tells the tale of four generations of his
family, we learn that it is the traditional values of tolerance,
filial piety and loyalty which endure.
