The Cangue - Was it used in Hong Kong?

Submitted by David on Fri, 2013-03-08 11:47

Was the cangue used as punishment in Hong Kong, and if so during which years, and under what circumstances?

The cangue is a form of punishment that was used in China. Sometimes described as a 'wooden collar', it was a large wooden board that fastened around a person's neck. Here's a photo on Flickr that shows the cangue in use:

Stanley POW Camp and The Hong Kong Police

Hi

My name is Ian Matches. My father is Harold Matches (deceased - 26/08/92) He is featured in a number of photos of the Hong Kong Police.

My mother died last year and during the process of clearing out the attic we have discovered old files on the Hong Kong police force and a number of old photos.

Is there anyone who is interested in what we may have as we would be happy to provide info etc and copies of photos.

Mui Wo salt pans

Submitted by Hugh Farmer on Tue, 2013-03-05 07:38

I am interested in finding out about salt pans that were located in Mui Wo around, or after, WW2. Apparently there is an aerial photograph(s) taken by the RAF which shows their location and which may possibly be  kept in HK Government archives.

Help please re Chinese Gardens:

Submitted by pauline on Mon, 2013-03-04 20:32

Please can someone help me.  I am trying to establish exactly what is included in an authentic genuine Chinese Garden.  For instance,  does it have high walls all around,  how big are they,  do they have walkways and Tea Pavilions etc. ?

Any facts and figures i.e.  height,  dimensions,  plants grown (I assume that they have plants?) would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,

Pauline.

I was born in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong in 1949. My Dad was flying for Imperial Airways / BOAC on flying boats, and was based in Hong Kong. We lived in Stewart Terrace on the Peak.

We returned to England shortly after that, but my Dad was sent back to Hong Kong again in 1956 when
