Lion Rock

The Lion Rock Institute is Hong Kong's leading free market think tank. In the 1950's, hundreds of thousands fled turmoil in China. They hoped for freedom and a better life. They settled in droves on the slopes of Hong Kong's geographical centre – Lion Rock. "Under the Lion Rock," a timeless classic from the 70's by Roman Tam, tells the story of the people who built Hong Kong. The spirit of a community supported the individual efforts of those seeking freedom and prosperity. With no expectation of government support, they built Hong Kong by the sweat of their brows and with community support into the greatest city in Asia. Lion Rock still resonates with the people of Hong Kong and symbolizes the strength of the people, hope for freedom, individual courage and our aspiration to build a prosperous future.
