LOT 3084
TSE-TUNG, Mao (introduction). We Shall Win! British Imperialism in Hong Kong Will Be Defeated! Hong Kong: Ta Kung Pao, November 1967. 4to (233 x 254mm.) Introduction by Mao Tse-Tung, numerous photographic illustrations, text in English and Chinese. (Toning.) Original card covers (spine panel partially lacking, some corner creasing and spotting). Note: published by the pro-Beijing newspaper Ta Kung Pao following the Hong Kong riots that began as labour dispute in a plastic flower factory in May 1967 and which soon became a violent resistance to the colonial government. Fifty-one people died in the rioting. The British Hong Kong government made changes and social reforms after these events, but riots would occur again in 1981. In his introduction Mao Tse-Tung writes ‘When we say ‘imperialism is ferocious’, we mean that its nature will never change, that the imperialists will never lay down their butcher knives, that they will never become Buddhas, till their doom’.  Mounted inside the upper cover is a typed note: ‘Obtained by me during a demonstration in the Sham Shui Po area of Kowloon during the 1967 ‘disturbances’, M.G. Arnold Inspector of Police’. Provenance: M.G. Arnold, Inspector of Police (typed note signed in ink stapled verso upper cover).
