SYNOPSIS

Before the British handed Hong Kong to China in 1997, the British government transferred many sensitive colonial documents to its archive in London. More than 20 years after the handover, many of the documents concerning the Sino-British negotiation are finally released – and they reveal a lot of details which Hong Kongers have never known.
