Not only am I, as the child of former British colonials, bred to like Ovaltine and black currant jelly at teatime, without a doubt I owe the British empire my very life. Without the existence of the imperial outpost of Hong Kong, my grandparents would not have found safe haven from war-torn China, my parents would not have gone to America, and I would never be here at Harvard...
