About the event
The history of Macau is really worthy of everyone's attention, so we decided to talk about one more reading session! This time I will tell the story of American journalist Aleko Lilius interviewing Macau Pirate Queen Li Caishan in the 1920s. The all-powerful pirate group originally colluded with wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong; thousands of pirates are rampant in the Pearl River Delta, and the governments of China, Hong Kong and Macau are helpless. Vicious pirates will pretend to be passengers, hijack passenger ships, and kidnap and tear tickets are commonplace. How did Aleko voluntarily board the pirate ship and insist on telling this story?
