Description
Does a man need a stint in jail to complete his life experiences?
From Stanley Prison, corporate high-flyer John T. Hung recounts his life in a sweep of Hong Kong history over five generations โ from his family roots in the 19th century through World War II to the present. The story tracks the richness of his mixed heritage and upbringing, his steady rise and precipitous fall from the pinnacles of corporate Hong Kong to the life-destroying court case and heartbreaking incarceration.
With wry and subtle humour, Hung describes his colourful yet volatile life, interwoven into the social, commercial, political and sporting tapestry of Hong Kong and South East Asia. Master of None is a soulful exploration of human achievements, frailties, resilience in the face of adversity, and above all, the importance of family support in overcoming whatever fate may deal us.

โWhen John Hung, one of Hong Kongโs most recognised taipans, was jailed for bribery 2-1/2 years ago, many saw it as an ignominious end. But today the man himself has high hopes the fall heralds a new start. It was during his incarceration that he started writing a book about his life, which he spoke about yesterday at the Foreign Correspondentsโ Club in Central.โ โ South China Morning Post
