Fabulous - it's great to compare the hutongs with village life in Hong Kong, I'd never though of it like that before but there are indeed some similarities.

Yes me neither, but it makes sense. Although Wang Tong is on the outskirts of HK, whereas Nanluoguxiang is right in the center of Beijing. What an amazing experience for his kids growing up.

Great interview. Really captures the essence of Beijing back then, the opportunities that could happen in such a time, and the joy of finding rainforest and a beach. "Chexit" indeed.

Thank you Debbie. There really was so much opportunity in China at that time, but sounds like Dominic found the perfect moment to step away from life in the capital.
