Summary "December 20, 1999 marks the end of the longest-running chapter in Macao's history. After over 450 years of administration, Portugal will hand over one of the oldest colonies the world has ever known to China. Macao Remembers commemorates this vital juncture in Macao's history through interviews with twenty-six people, representing most of Macao's unique mixture of races, creeds, classes, and traditions."--BOOK JACKET. "Aristocrats and fisherfolk, priests and triads, novelists and politicians bring to life this intriguing portrait of one of the world's most fascinating cities at the brink of a momentous change of identity."--BOOK JACKET
