The Golden Needle written by Dr. Gillian Bickley is the most comprehensive and authoritative account of the legendary life of Frederick Stewart, the founder of the modern education system in Hong Kong. Its English edition, warmly received by both academic and non-academic audience, was also a timely aid to the completion of History of Education in Hong Kong co-authored by me. The publication of the Chinese edition of this biography will doubtlessly benefit a wide readership of Chinese scholars and broad public.--Jun Fang, Professor of History, Huron University College at the University of Western Ontario, Canada
