This is the biography of one of the most enigmatic figures in British-dominated Hong Kong. Although despised as an imperialist miser by some, the reclusive Noel Croucher (1891-1980) eventually became known for charity by founding the Croucher Foundation and battling prejudice in the colony. Includes a foreword by Dr. Elizabeth Sinn, professor of modern Chinese history at the University of Hong Kong.
