In
a career of public service spanning 30 years, Dr. Leong Che-hung had always
been there when Hong Kong people needed him.

His
faith in serving his own people had taken him from the operating theatre to the Executive Council and Legislative
Council representing the medical constituency, and he was successively appointed as the Chairman
of the Hospital Authority, the HKU Council and the Elderly Commission, among others.

Now,
for the first time, Dr. Leong uses each phase of his professional and public
career as a spur to reflect on what makes Hong Kong tick.

Opinionated,
perceptive and often prescient, he tells the inside stories of the city’s most challenging health care crisis
and most treasured medical triumphs.

Throughout
the book, he thinks passionately aboutmany pressing issues facing Hong Kong, and why they are not only challenges but
also opportunities.
