The Lees of Hongkong (利希慎家族)

On May 19th I went to the 1/F Main Library of the Hong Kong University because at its Special Collection corner there was a "Book Launch and Book Talk". The host was Senator Vivienne Poy (利德蕙), the first Canadian of Asian descent appointed to the Senate of Canada and Chancellor Emerita of the University of Toronto. In 2006, she was awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Laws from The University of Hong Kong. The title of her book is "Profit, Victory and Sharpness: The Lees of Hong Kong". Its official Chinese title is <利希慎家族歷史>. It is a book about Hong Kong's Lee Hysan Family. As a member of the Lee family, she has a lot of insider information to write the book. In this book Vivienne talks about, among other things, the assassination of her grand father in the 1920s in Hong Kong. Purely by chance, I note that in the Ming Pao Saturday Magazine of 2009.05.23 there was an article about Vivienne Poy. One thing surprises me is that she, at the age of 66, donated a kidney to her son Justin in 2007. She is such a great mother.
