i'm in southeast asia with my 1913 bradshaw's  handbook published at the height of european  

imperialism my 100 year old guy book  will leave me on a railway adventure  

through archipelagos and peninsulas dotted  with hills forests and paddy fields i'll tour  

towering mega cities and magnificent mosques i'll  encounter golden buddhas and jewelled temples  

and experience some of the world's most  spectacular and notorious railways as i travel  

through the diverse nations of this vast region  i'll learn how they asserted their independence  

against the british french and dutch empires to  become the economic tigers and dragons of today

i'm in hong kong continuing to explore this  mega metropolis i visited the kowloon peninsula  

and crossed victoria harbour to hong kong  island from here i'll head north to visit  

the ward villages of the new territories and  west to the remote and tranquil lantau island  

i'll meet a descendant of one of the  region's oldest dynasties your family  

has been here how long over a thousand years  it makes the british occupation seem like just  

learn about the father of modern china  sanyasin is the person who came and made  

change in a huge way and discover why hong  kongers are protesting 20 years after the handover  

were not being given what was promised the anger  and the frustration is there and it's escalating

i'm exploring hong kong island on a metro system  that handles around six billion trips a day  

the success of hong kong's mass transit  railway is very hard to believe it's  

only existed in its modern form since 1979  and yet it has now 91 heavy rail stations  

including some which are indescribably huge  most unusually amongst metros in this world  

it is highly profitable and its punctuality  record is just shy of 100 percent  

i'm traveling to hong kong university to  learn about one of its most renowned alumni

bradshaws tells me that the foundation stone  was laid in 1910 before that it was the hong  

kong college of medicine for chinese and the  physician dr sun yat sen graduated in 1892  

since he went on to become a revolutionary  to overthrow the chinese imperial dynasty  

and become known as the father of modern china  it makes you wonder what was on the curriculum

in 1911 sunyat sen and a group of revolutionaries  led a successful uprising against the qing dynasty  

and founded a republic in china but he  spent his formative years in hong kong  

dr ho yin li is an associate professor  

in architectural conservation his  grandfather was sunya sen's secretary  

i understand that sun yatsen graduated from the  medical school here was his background before  

that in hong kong um before he came to hong kong  he was in china as a young person and went to  

school as most people who came from a family of  reasonable wealth and he wasn't happy obviously  

with the educational system and all kinds of  systems in china then and so in fact he went to  

america to hawaii where his brother lived and he  did study for a short while you know in hawaii and  

before he came to hong kong while he was studying  to be a physician do you think he was already  

having political ideas yes very much by the time  he went to medical school and he was beginning to

get into contact with like-minded people to  form a revolutionary idea to overthrow the qing  

government and to establish a modern china why  would he have revolutionary ideas what was wrong  

with china in those days china i can't even begin  to count you know what's wrong with china then  

and so if you look at education and china was  still stuck in a educational system that is to  

say the least you know is not about academic  freedom and if you look at the governance  

and so it is a huge nation rule by a small  family so it's a royal family but you know  

essentially it was a dictatorship and  the worst part is that there is no

concern by the government to the demand of the  people eventually to put it uh simply is that  

the people of fedor is looking forward to change  you know and so sanya singh is the person who came  

and made change in a huge way sunyat sen was  a graduate of an open and modern western style  

education in 1923 he returned to the university  to deliver a speech that's remembered to this day

oh what an impressive room it is this is  the place where one summer day in 1923  

dr sanya singh the founding father of modern  china came to give a rousing speech to the  

community of the university of hong kong well  if you come on stage i'll tell you what's insane

so in 1923 on that day imagine these rooms  completely filled with people professors  

students you know they're all anticipating  what's understanding going to say and he  

said that i feel as though i've come home and  hong kong and this university of hong kong  

are my intellectual workplace and you can  just imagine the crowd must have been cheering  

and he continued to say that and where did i get  my revolutionary and modern idea and he said that  

this idea came from the colony of hong kong here  you are a resident in hong kong teaching hong kong  

what do you think of sun yat-sen today if you go  back to his the three principles of the people  

and in which he advocate for a strong chinese  nation so that means having pride in the chinese  

identity and the second thing is that it's about  developing a liberal society with freedom of all  

sorts but that's important to this university  intellectual freedom and the third thing is  

about the livelihood of people so that means  having a responsible government that addresses  

and respond to people's needs in a timely manner  so all of this is exactly what the young people  

the protesters are asking for so in fact it's  totally relevant and that there's no contradiction  

at all so i wish more people would look into  sanjay's political thoughts you know and think  

more about it i think that way hong kong will be  will get out of the trouble that we are having now

i'm heading towards hong kong's northern border

as i travel away from central districts  the contrast is remarkable skyscrapers are  

replaced by mountains concrete by trees and  urban density by thinly populated villages  

my preconceptions of hong  kong are being challenged

25 minutes later i'm in kamtin a  district in the new territories

this is the walled village of kat hing wai first  settled by the tang clan over 500 years ago  

it was built to protect the residents  from rival clans and bandits  

at the time of my guidebook the villager's  distinctive brick walls will be tested once more  

in 1898 the british wanted to establish a  defensive barrier for hong kong and so they  

acquired on a 99-year lease the so-called new  territories which consisted of more than 600  

villages not all the inhabitants were at all  happy with british rule and there followed a  

very bitter six day war with very high chinese  casualties here at the village of cat king y  

they closed the gates against the british  nonetheless they were overrun the gates were  

stolen and sent to britain and restored to the  village only in 1925 as a gesture of goodwill

also in camtain another beautifully  preserved historic village  

shui tauswan inhabited by  descendants of the tang clan  

featuring traditional cantonese architecture  parts of the village date to the 17th century

village leader ying hua tang  is showing me the family temple  

this is very very beautiful  how old would this be oh

200 years yeah 200 years haha tell  me about this nidhi haidi sanjibhai  

name my daddy my grandfather and all all  the generations oh wonderful may i see okay

my father and my grandfather very beautiful and  very moving your family has been here how long  

over a thousand years a thousand years yeah or  mr ten one family one thousand years yeah it  

makes the british occupation  seem like just a moment  

tucked away in the quiet village the yitai's study  hall built during the latter years of the qing  

dynasty in the mid 19th century was converted into  a primary school around the time of my guidebook

at little desks like this  countless generations of villagers  

will have done their confucian  studies and will have learned too  

to revere their ancestors it strikes me that in  a place where a family has lasted for a thousand  

years you probably view history differently  it's not so much about the isms imperialism  

communism capitalism the empires don't matter  so much the qings and the mings and even  

for the one-day visitor to the village it  makes you perceive the past quite differently
