And what about Hong Kong itself?
How did you experience your dad's relationship to the city?
And was journalism something that you wanted to do?
Was owning a newspaper something that you wanted to do?
This entire line of work that your dad is doing.
So he kind of freed you from...
from that expectation to pursue what you wanted.
What was he singing?
He was singing Ave Maria.
A difficult song for anyone.
And you were starting to understand that even as, it sounds like, a teenager.
That your dad was a man who could have lived, if he chose to, in a state of constant indulgence.
You know, his whole life could have been essentially walking through a very beautiful park singing.
And instead, he chose a very different life with a great deal more risk and struggle.
