Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fragrant Forever is the third book of Fragrant Port trilogy. It reflects the situation wherein the Hong Kong British companies, the Hong Kong Chinese companies and the Mainland Chinese companies mix with each other, support each other and compete with each other during the 12-year transitional period after the signature of the Sino-British Joint Declaration on the question of Hong Kong’s return to China. With the assistance of the Hong Kong Chinese magnates such as Swan and the others, the Hong Kong British firms, which have decided to stay on in Hong Kong, manage to tide over their difficulties by carrying out extensive structural readjustment and integration of interests. On the other hand, Catherine Grey, a young girl coming to Hong Kong from England to seek opportunities in the transitional period, and Tony Ho, Brown’s former maidservant Sister Lotus’s grandson who returns to Hong Kong after having been entrapped in Mainland China for 17 years, join hands and pursue their aggressive career. They get married after struggling for a way out shoulder to shoulder for a period of time. With the help of Swan, they make use of Tony’s relationship in the Chinese mainland on the one hand, and make use of Catherine’s connections in England on the other, to do import and export business and help the enterprises from Mainland China and those from England to come into Hong Kong’s stock exchange market. As a result, they are rising rapidly and become a new business and financial magnate couple in Hong Kong in less then ten years. At the same time, the novel also describes the moving love story of Tony Ho and Platter Green, daughter of Denton Green, who was in charge of the pharmaceutical factory of Watton when Tony worked as an office boy at the factory in early 1960s. Now they meet again after 17-year separation. However, Tony has got married while Platter is still single. Finally, a plaintive and sentimental love triangle has developed. Catherine proposes a unique way to solve the problem. The background time of the novel is set from the talks on the question of Hong Kong by the British and Chinese governments at the end of 1982 to the hand-over of Hong Kong to China on July 1, 1997. Between this period, there were the deadlock during the subsequent talks in 1983, the signature of the Joint Declaration by the two governments on the question of Hong Kong in 1984, the Tian An Men Event in 4 June 1989, the 1992-1995 disputes between the British and Chinese governments over the proposed plan of reforming the political system of Hong Kong put forward by Christopher Patten, the last governor of Hong Kong, and the Chinese side decides to go its own way, refusing to cooperate with the British side in this regard.

Download or read book St Catherine of Siena written by F.A. Forbes and published by Ravenio Books. This book was released on with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TOWARD the south of Tuscany, enthroned on her three hills, her quaint old towers soaring into the blue Italian sky, stands Siena, the city of the Virgin. Few of the cities of Italy have changed so little in the course of the centuries as she. The frowning walls of a medieval stronghold still surround her, broken here and there by great gates on whose brick arches the blue and crimson and gold of the fourteenth century painters yet linger. Her old palaces, her gorgeous cathedral, her noble churches, her steep and narrow streets have changed but little in the last six hundred years. The very name of Siena seems to bring with it a fragrance of lilies. It is the city of the Virgin Mother of God, solemnly dedicated to her in the year 1260, on the eve of the great battle of Montaperti, when the citizens of Siena won a glorious victory over the rival republic of Florence. “Follow me now,” cried the leader of the Sienese army, fitly named Buonaguida, “let us surrender ourselves, our city, with all our rights, to the Queen of Eternal Life, to Our Lady and Mother, the Virgin Mary. Follow me, all of you, with purity of faith and freedom of will to make this offering.” Three days of thanksgiving followed on the victory, and for centuries after the favorite subject of the painters of Siena was that “Lady and Mother” who had helped their city in her need. Not quite a hundred years after the battle of Montaperti, in the year 1347, there was born to Jacomo Benincasa, a well-to-do dyer of Siena, and his wife Lapa, a little daughter who was destined to be the glory of her native city and one of the most remarkable women of her time. The child, who was the youngest of a large family of sisters and brothers, was christened Catherine; but the little maid was so sweet and lovable, her winning ways and innocent baby talk had such power to comfort and cheer those who were sad or in trouble, that the neighbors called her “Eufrosina” or “Joy.” Monna Lapa would often miss her little daughter and find that she had been carried off by someone who was feeling lonely or sorrowful, and loud would be the outcries when the mother appeared to take possession of her baby. The sunshine that played round the golden head of the little Catherine seemed to have found its way into her heart, so happy was she, so innocently wise her childish sayings and so gentle the touch of her tiny hand.
