Papa don't preach: Li family rift reflects colony's polarization

Article Abstract:

Liberal lawyer Gladys Li and her conservative father Simon Li stand on opposite sides of a spreading rift in Hong Kong's legal community concerning China's takeover in 1997. Gladys, the new head of the Hong Kong Bar Association, wants Governor Chris Patten to more aggressively push his civil-rights and democracy agenda. Simon, a former Court of Appeal judge and head of the pro-Beijing Preliminary Working Committee's legal-affairs group, think's Patten's reforms are a subversive effort to preserve Britain's influence after 1997.
