Members had an exclusive tour by Edward Stokes, founder of The Photographic Heritage Foundation, of a fascinating exhibition of photos showing Hong Kong’s Recovery, Resilience and Resurgence from the 1940s to ‘70s, at the Asia Society.

Organized by the Europe Committee on 30 June, the specially selected photos taken by Hedda Morrison, Lee Fook Chee, and Brian Brake allowed members to see life in Hong Kong through the eyes of these three pioneering photographers. The photographs they took show Hong Kong during some very challenging times for the city as well as the true-grit spirit of its people which shaped Hong Kong’s world-renowned entrepreneurial and can-do spirit. Due to huge interest, the exhibition has been extended until 30 September.
