For the next 99 years, British servicemen faced Chinese soldiers - and sometimes red guards - across the narrow width of Chung Ying (China-Britain) Street. Through reminiscences and archive photos, many published for the first time, this book unveils the mysterious past of this unique border town.","brand":"Blacksmith Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47406129250559,"sku":"9789881613844","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_6fd2c503-e196-47ee-9200-6e5c1746b790.jpg?v=1774282820","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9789881613844","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
