教科書不會教的36個香港歷史人物 (港識多史): Watershed Hong Kong 36
作者: 港識多史
葉坤杰(香港歷史專頁 Watershed Hong Kong負責人):
「真實的香港故事,還是需要由香港人親手發掘、書寫及傳承。一直處於帝國競爭交鋒的火線上,香港從古至今一直直視動盪變局。有人逃到香港,有人離開香港,但香港無從逃避。在此蕞爾小島,華洋政賈精英、歐亞混血兒、亞細亞革命家等都留下了足印,綻放過該時代的光芒。
在帝國平衡格局被打破的今日,港識多史回首另一時空多姿多彩的香港人故事,以白紙黑字留下記錄。映照過去指引前路,更顯重要。」
周浩正(香港歷史與皇室文化愛好者):
「書內史料內容豐富,以不同歷史人物故事穿梭古今,令讀者能夠親歷其中。借用古今名人歷史故事,立體呈現出不同的往昔片段,剖釋香港當年不同大小事項。
透過認知歷史,有助我們豐富自己的『文化背包』,向世人展示什麼是香港文化,香港精神。」
《教科書不會教的36個香港歷史人物》不是一本香港歷史入門書,但又可以是本香港歷史入門書。這本書不如教科書或常見的入門書,為讀者提供大歷史背景和轉變,卻是由人物著手,以一個個人物建構出今日的香港,這些人橫跨政、商、文化等不同界別,包含不同種族國籍、性別、我者與他者,由早於未開埠至今日,一步步將香港塑造成今日的成就和模樣,正正展現出香港的多元與靈活,亦帶出了很多人常問的一個問題——怎樣才是香港人?
寫完這本書,對「香港」和「香港人」的身分好像清晰了又模糊了,但這些在這裡留過足跡的人,在這裡發生過的故事,也許都可以逐點逐點讓你拼湊出一個屬於你自己的答案,而這本書只是故事的一段微小部分,更多的故事就待日後與大家繼續努力。

Does the job, but assembling by yourself is a nightmare
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Black
Does it do the job? Yes, although as others said there are small gaps but it's not a huge deal. The price is also good. But the reason I'm giving it a 3/5 is simply because the assembly for this was a complete nightmare. I honestly don't think I would recommend this to anyone unless they have another person to help them assemble it, because doing it by myself was terrible. I don't think I'd buy this again, I think I'd opt to just spend a bit more money and save myself the trouble personally.

Reasonably adequate room divider
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Beige
I'm reviewing this as I assemble it.
Couple things:
1. I didn't expect as much assembly. I've ordered dividers before and they more-or-less came as one unit. Sometimes the panels needed screwing together. These require complete assembly and come largely as three rods: two make up vertical columns and snap together. Another one (called part "C") makes the horizontal columns and you have two of these per panel (one attaches to part "A" and the other part "B"). These parts are metal with a plastic shim. Using the wood screws to attach to part "C" is a real pain in the neck. There's not much holding the panel in place so it's a little tricky.
One tactic I've found while I'm assembling that works for the initial connections from parts A and B to their respective "C" rods is to hold the screw in place with a screw driver and then rotating the rod around the screw. This will do a number on your hands if you aren't wearing gloves. This obviously doesn't work when completing the connection.
Using a driller driver on this is really near impossible because there isn't anything you can use to secure it in place. You can use it on the first panel, but as it gets longer, it becomes increasingly difficult and because it isn't wood, it's really tight. I considered drilling larger pilot holes but since there are only 4x4=16 screws I need to screw in, I just decided to use my screw driver to complete it.
2. Also related to assembly. When completing the panels (attaching parts "A" and "B" to parts "C" that have the cloth cover on it), you have to be careful that when you tighten that side that it isn't loosening the other side. Because the pilot holes are so tight, you can end up rotating the rod, which rotates it in the same direction as looser on the original side. Having someone hold the "C" rod in place while you screw it in is probably the easiest approach. I didn't have a 2nd person, so I just had to keep flipping back and forth and tightening both sides as I screwed it in. Not the worlds biggest deal, but annoying nonetheless.
3. The way the instructions are written, they seem to suggest building this thing progressively; that is, you do panel 1, then 2, connect them together, then do 3 and connect it, etc. I took a different route that I suspect saved me quite a bit of trouble, and I assembled all four panels first and THEN connected everything together.
4. For the love of God make sure you check that the plastic tip is on the same side for every panel. Otherwise, you have to take one side apart again and reverse it. On the bright side, if this happens, you've essentially bored out the pilot holes to be the correct size... which is having me question if I shouldn't have just bored them out to the appropriate width in the first place.
5. Attaching all of the panels together is also an enormous pain in the ass unless you happen to have an 88" long elevated surface. Attaching the legs either requires you to elevate one side, which will invariably twist the inexplicably cheap material in the bottom connectors... or you can attach them sideways... or you can put this thing upright, having two people hold the panels in place while you use the allen wrench to tighten the bolts on the underside. None of those are particularly great options.
NOW on to the utility itself.
1. The panels do let some light through (I didn't believe their advertising, and that was one of the reasons that I bought beige, is that I wanted it to not be too dark). They aren't transparent though, so it isn't that far off from their description. They functionally work great, and keep the mess of wires hidden and when I'm sitting at my desk, actually reflect quite a bit of light into my office. Great!
2. My wife has described these as "the most hideous piece of furniture ever conceived of by man." So it does not have spouse approval factor. Granted, she will seldom be in my office area, so that isn't the end of the world.
3. These are really hard to align in a way that doesn't look a little tacky. There are some plastic connectors but they don't do a bang up job of keeping these in place. Each panel is slightly tilted and it's... quite obvious. I may at some point make my own improvements to these to help make them more level. It's not a particularly expensive product so I wasn't expecting much so it's fine and I'm not going to ding them on the rating because of it.
All said, would I buy this product again? Probably not. It's assembly was ~90 minutes which is about 75 minutes longer than I was anticipating spending on this (not including the 5 minute writeup that I'm doing here). But am I going to return it? Also no, if for no other reason I'd be just as annoyed taking it apart and putting it in the original box to return it.

Easy peasy
Size: 1 Panel, Color: Black
Bought this single-panel room divider for my son so he has a little privacy when he has to keep his camera on for online classes.
It’s lightweight, easy to set up, and does the job—he can focus without me photobombing in the background. He can feel like he has his own tiny corner office, even if it’s just the basement.

It serves it's purpose!!
Size: 1 Panel, Color: Black
Product really works well & serves it's purpose! Great height & width. It's flimsy, but it will stand still when put in place.

Zero stars
Size: 1 Panel, Color: Black
The bars are impossible to screw in all the way so it’s not sturdy at all, trash and waste of time
