[1] The story of a self-made man in a rapidly changing Hong Kong at the end of British Colonial rule.

writer Robert Bell said "...the subject matter of Floating City doesn't come as a surprise, mirroring the life of a self-made man with the rapid change of Hong Kong from small fishing village to booming metropolis over latter half of the 20th Century.
