邵燕祥先生说:《近看香港》不是一般的文学游记,虽有文学笔法,视野却远远超过一般的山水楼台民情风物;它不是一般的专著,虽涉及经济政治社会文化诸方面,回答的却是普通人的问题;它也不是一般的导游书,即使不准备游香港的人,也能从这里披阅世纪的风云,觇窥世界的一角。 Mr. Shao Yanxiang said: “Looking at Hong Kong in the near future” is not a general literary travelogue. Although there are literary sketches, its field of vision far exceeds that of ordinary landscapes; it is not an ordinary monograph but involves all aspects of economic, political, social and cultural aspects. However, It is also a matter of ordinary people. Nor is it a guide book for ordinary people. Even if it is not prepared to travel to Hong Kong, it will be able to read the story of the century from here and glimpse the corner of the world.
