As a teenager growing up in Hong Kong in the 1960’s, a young Eurasian Boy takes us through a number of his wild and mischievous adventures based on real-life experiences. A yo-yo championship, flying Chinese fighting kites while precariously perched on high-rise rooftops, a unique multi-cultural English high school called KGV, encounters with the Chinese Triads, racing motorcycles and cars, gambling in Macau casinos, crossing between Occidental and Oriental culture, University in Australia and of course that first encounter with the opposite sex (and what follows). He recounts a truly amazing litany of teenage experiences that would be foreign to most not having the opportunity to enjoy the appetizing delights of the British Colony bordering China. Tony Tebbutt opens up his inner-self to expose his emotions, joy and personal frailties as he recounts his life lessons with personal achievement, education, women and moral values. Through it all he is able to find humor in his faults and share the exuberance of his successes. An easy read and an absolute must if you enjoy good stories, coming of age or have a connection to old Hong Kong.

Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

Anthony Tebbutt was born in Hong Kong and completed high school at King George Vth in the British colony. He briefly studied at the University of Western Australia before achieving his Bachelor’s degree at Santa Clara University and MBA at Stanford, both located in the beautiful San Francisco Bay area. With a career that spanned over 30 years in the prescription drug industry, his assignments took him to Canada, England, California and ultimately to Atlanta, Georgia where he had a highly successful track record as the President of the US affiliate of a European multi-national. Married to Karen for 38 years with a son, Jason and daughter, Heather, Tony is now retired and living in the beautiful mountains of N. Georgia where he enjoys his favorite pastimes of writing, golf, pool and poker. His two King Charles Cavaliers Max and Cooper would be dismayed if they were not mentioned in this bio.

A must-read for anyone who wants to know
what it was like to grow up and live in this magical land called HongKong. Mr. Tebbutt is the perfect candidate to write such a book, and his view through Eurasian eyes is a unique one, and adds another dimension, a sort of 'behind the scenes' look.
For those of us who grew up in this wonderful and magical place at that time, we're grateful that someone has told the story of our young lives. If you have been entranced by Clavell's tales in 'Noble House' and Martin Booth's reminiscences of the old British colony in 'Gweilo' you're going to want to add this one to your library.
Tony Tebbutt has written an honest account, and has done it with great creativity. His stories about kite fighting from HongKong's rooftops are cleverly told. Sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll, triads, etc. it's all here!
I think we can expect more from this Rising Son...I hope so!

Growing up in the 60's in an unique location with a society that had learned to live to the fullest. No heatlh and safety concerns. No govt intervention in what you ate or drank. Dangerous to some but an elixir to others.

My hope town which has disappeared only to become moreso.

Well written & enjoyable. Regarding the heroin shipment from Manila. The individual who was arrested & spent 7 years in prison was Roberto Baptista alias Tanas. Were you protecting him or had you forgotten. He spent most of his remaining years in a wheelchair, after a stroke, & died some years back in Macau. Thanks for the shout about me Tony. Stephen Wong

Tony Tebbutt takes the reader through the amazing maturation time of his life growing up in Hong Kong. This book gives the reader an important view of the history of Hong Kong as it was 50 yrs ago when it was a wide open colonial city where even 14 yr. old boys could go clubbing - if they had the money. It's hard to believe that he survived the motorcycle adventures of his teen yrs. or the attractive women that brought him into manhood. His athletic abilities were important in forming his "can do" personality of today. Tony writes with a successful matter-of-fact humor that makes this book an interesting and fast read.

I was looking forward to learning more about Hong Kong, so I was disappointed to start with a long detailed description of a yo-yo competition. However once I got into the story I started to enjoy it more. The book covers many topics some of which I found more interesting than others, however I did end the book feeling that I knew a lot more about life in Hong Kong. My favourite part was the detailed descriptions of kite fighting which I only knew about previously from "the Kite Runner".
