Annotation. Hong Kong in the early 20th Century was considered the hub of business. However that changed as Japanese forces took over the country. The Japanese soldiers showed no mercy to the Chinese and violence, looting and unjust killing prevailed. Sek Lung , the second son of the Sek family, took it upon himself to provide for the family and ensure their well-being by out witting the invader. A Chinese Entrepreneur is a collection of events of a Chinese man's business ventures; it details his beliefs in his traditions and superstitions and how they influenced his decisions and way of life. Combine that with the importance of family and you have a novel worth your while.
