As an inquisitive seven-year-old, Martin Booth found himself with Hong Kong at his feet when his father was posted there in the early 1950s. He roamed freely in hidden corners of the colony - his blond hair signified good luck to the Chinese - and entered places such as opium dens, a secret Triad lair, and a leper colony.
