		When I first visited Tung Lung Chau in 2000, it wasn't on the any of the Countryside Series maps, so I took a picture of this map near the fort.
		Although it is one of the closest islands to downtown Hong Kong, Tung Lung Chau did not appear on the Countryside Series maps or in any of the hiking or guide books that I had (it has now been added to the Hong Kong Island map).
		Tung Lung Fort was recently excavated and all that is to be seen of it are the foundations - everything else that was found there appears to have been taken elsewhere.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Church in China
		The Jesuits, as astronomers or interpreters, were in high favor at court and the question of rites which was disadvantageous to other missionaries, did not impair their credit during the reign of K'ang-hi.
		Matters were different under Yung Cheng, son and successor of K'ang-hi, who in 1724 issued an edict exiling to Canton all missionaries except those occupying various offices at Court; in 1736, an edict of K'ien Lung, son and successor of Yung Cheng, prohibited the teaching of Christian doctrine under penalty of death.
		Rome having spoken, no more can be said here on the question, but it may be noted that the Bull "Ex quo singulari" was a terrible blow to the missions in China; there are fewer Christians than formerly and none among the higher classes, as were the princes and mandarins of the court of K'ang-hi.

	ON TACTICS AGAINST JAPANESE IMPERIALISM
		The Sixth Army Group led by Jen Pi-shih [18] and other comrades began to shift to Comrade Ho Lung's area [19] in August last year, and in October we ourselves started to shift position.[20] In March this year the Red Army in the Szechuan-Shensi border area [21] began its shift.
		The result was that when imperialism ordered its lackeys, the landlord and comprador classes, to spread their numerous tentacles and draw over first Chiang Kai-shek and then Wang Ching-wei, the revolution suffered defeat.
		True, we had the troops under Ho Lung and Yeh Ting, but they were not yet politically consolidated, and the Party was not very skilled in leading them, so that they were finally defeated.

		By the 19th century, Hong Kong, no longer "an island of rocks" or "a small fishing village," as the British described it in many books, had grown into a prosperous area governed by administrators appointed by the court of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and defended by the Qing imperial army.
		The area had a population of 7,450 according to imperial records during the Qing Dynasty, and local residents built numerous villages and enjoyed the same level of economic, cultural and educational development as did those in neighbouring Guangdong Province, Liu noted.
		It had reached 1.6 million on the eve of World War II (1939-45) as a result of several major tides of migration, said Ting.
