Antonio M. Jorge da Silva was born in Macau, then an overseas province of Portugal, prior to WWII. He talks about the history of the Portuguese in the Far East, and Macau and Hong Kong in particular, where he spent his early years. We learn as well of his interesting family history. His father was at one time treasurer of the Portuguese government in Macau. World War II was a harrowing experience for the family. Later Tony attended British schools in Hong Kong and then went off to England to study architecture. There he met his future wife, Penny. We hear other interesting stories of passing through the US, of visiting Red China and riots in Hong Kong and Macau. The da Silva family eventually moved to California where Tony engaged in his architectural career and founded da Silva Associates. We learn finally of the various Macaense clubs here in California, as well as Tony’s various publications related to Macau and its people and diaspora.
