influences on each other. The complementary effect
leads to a successful national economy. In
analyzing the history and development of the Bank
of England, the Bank of Japan, and the United
States Federal Reserve, one u...

Governor of Hong Kong. I still remember the
composition I wrote in my primary school, in which
I conveyed my vision and even outlined the
policies I planned to carry out once I became the
leader of the government. After a few years, I
realized that it was almost impossible for me to
be the Governor of Hong Kong, because the position
was in fact appointed by the British government.
This was a piece of disheartening news. I tried to
