與法有緣

by Patrick Shuk-siu Yu, 余叔韶

The author comes from a distinguished family in Hong Kong. His father was an esteemed and eminent figure in educational circles both before and after the war, who will be remembered by the local community. In his autobiography, there is a detailed description of the unique circumstances under which the author, as a matriculation student, was awarded a government scholarship to enter the University of Hung Kong in 1938. Altogether unpredictably this started a chain of events which landed him in two war-time jobs in China, with British Naval Intelligence and the Chinese Nationalist Army respectively, and in due course won him a Victory Scholarship after the war to further his education at Oxford and finally qualify as a barrister-at-law. He attributes his good fortune to being the seventh child of his father who was himself a seventh child.
