In order to learn more about the history of my home country, I bought this book to class. When I studied in middle in my home country, I started to learn about the history about this. But during that time, I didn`t learn very well and make sense of the history about this. I just learned it for exams. After I graduated I hoped to know more about the history of my home country, especially this book include. As I was starting to see this book, I found this book only has one author called Peter Ward Fay and the title of this book is “The Opium War”.  It`s about an important history in China during 1840 to 1842. After I turned to the next page, I saw the University of North Carolina Press printed this book and this book was printed in Chapel Hill in 1975.         

I pick the quote “Hong Kong is nearly all steep hillside, some of it eroded and barren, some of it grass-covered, rising in places to a height of not quite two thousand feet.” (1)
