The World of Lily Wong

The World of Lily Wong was a comic strip by Larry Feign (an American-born Hong Kong resident) which began in 1986, running until 2001.

During its early years, it was featured in several newspapers including The Standard and the South China Morning Post between November 1986 and May 1995; The Independent (UK) between March 1997 and June 1997 (to chronicle the last hundred days of British rule in Hong Kong); and the HK iMail from May 2000 until September 2001.

[1][2] The strip followed its eponymous protagonist, Lily Wong, a young Chinese woman in Hong Kong (during its time as a British colony).

Her parents, her naughty brother Rudy and her gwailo husband were often used for commenting on Hong Kong news and for comparison of East and West in terms of both culture and politics.

[2][4] However, Larry Feign's political dialogue in the Lily Wong comics caused mainland-influenced media outlets to shun him.
