I bought your book " The Last Kings of Shanghai', it is great. My family fled to Hong Kong in 1949 from Shanghai. My respect to your contribution to the Chinese history.
@@majda926 they mentioned sir Elly kadoorie but failed to mention he was one of seven. His elder siblings had children and could not travel so the eldest moshe gave Eleazer (sir elly kadoorie) the money to use to go and trade with. One of the brothers was captured by Japanese and killed. There’s lot of missing information. These videos always mention Elly and his children Lawrence and Horace but the rest of the family is never mentioned. While they were living in a palace in Hong Kong my grandfather family were still in Calcutta. They never looked after the family. They had left Baghdad with a lot of wealth, money, diamonds, gold etc. It is said that the £500 loan equivalent of maybe £50k today was used to start trading the opium. The idea was that the two youngest brothers who had no children could travel make money and share it with the family but they never did. That should be mentioned. My grandfather came to England and raised his family in a 3 bed house with seven children while his first cousins had billions and lived in a palace. This is why Jewish people have a bad reputation with money because it corrupts them.
@@majda926 the inaccuracies are that it implies the Kadoorie family had no wealth until they met the Sassoon family and started trading opium. This is not correct. They were an extremely prominent family in Baghdad with great wealth already. You need money to trade with. They didn’t go to Hong Kong with empty pockets. The Kadoorie family is not just sir Elly’s bloodline. It is disrespectful to not mention his 5 brothers and 1 sister, as if they never existed.
I am a Mocatta and really enjoyed learning about the extraordinary Laur Mocatta

I am a Kadoorie family member. It was a great video. However some of the information could be slightly more accurate.
Which info?
