In 1983 whenThe China Quarterlypublished a special issue on Hong Kong, I attempted to synthesize the history of its urban social life, coining the term "Hong Kong Man" to describe what I considered to be the emergence of an identifiable unique social animal. Hong Kong Man, I suggested, was neither Chinese nor British. I characterized him as quick-thinking, flexible, tough for survival, excitement-craving, sophisticated in material tastes, and self-made in a strenuously competitive world. He operated in the context of a most uncertain future, control over which was in the hands of others, and for this as well as for historical reasons he lived "life in the short term".
