Note the following: <Attending Law school in England, he returned to Trinidad where he practiced, but because of minor disputes with the island government, he decided to cast his lot with the Chinese and left for Peking. In Peking he changed his family name of Akam to Chen and became legal advisor to the Ministry of Communication in 1912. > Surely you can see the sense of humour, irony etc. Educated by the British to go to Peking to usurp British rule in Shanghai. How fair and inclusive the British were to provide his education. I note that one of my grandfathers was in Shanghai at the time too, ensuring the effective use of capital, technology and economic development in the oil from Dalian. Not to mention the suppression of the evil Hun in France in 1915 with a contingent of Chinese. Now, the grandsons have produced the next generation and even the start of the generation after that. I note that the generations are amalgamating and the difference between "Chinese" and "British" is ceasing to have meaning. Hong Kong is not Chinese and New Zealand is not British. I note too that China went into a very long period of desolation thanks to adoption of the British/German concept of Marxism and totalitarian statist communism. A shame they threw out the wrong aspects of being British, keeping the very thing they should have ejected and ejecting the thing they should have kept. However, I have returned, a couple of generations later, armed with phragmented photon light sabre cyberphones, bringing illumination to a blighted land and people. Noblesse oblige, Mqurice PS: I note in passing that a great granddaughter of said oil man in Shanghai/Dalian is now in London, the headquarters of the British Empire, with the son of a Chinese man who fled China by swimming to freedom in Hong Kong, then escaping to New Zealand. He was desperate to escape the creation of General Chen's England-educated lawyering father. So the swirls and eddies of empire, love, economics and fun spiral around the world, mixing all together. Said escapee far preferred, as does the son, the freedoms of New Zealand and London in the British Empire, than the harsh attentions of General Chen's father's China and subsequent Maoistic monster.
