Comments
Tat Tak was actually a short-lived institute
Tat Tak, the formal name is Ta Te Institute達德學院, founded by Zhou Enlai and Dongbiwu from Chinese Communist Party in 1946. The school premises was a villa owned by general Ts'ai T'ing-k'ai called Fong Yuen (芳園). Most of the school premises were demolished, and only Morrison Building, declared monument of Hong Kong, left. Ta Te Institute was just like the Soviet School to spread CCP propaganda. It was closed in 1949 by the order of Sir Alexander Grantham as it violated Education Ordinance at the moment.
