The 1st September 2017 marks the 23rd Anniversary of the launch of bc magazine – what an amazing 23 years its been, how the world has changed.
Massive thanks are owed to far too many people for me to list individual contributors for fear of missing out someone – but back in the 90s without Tom Hallahan and Mark Fitzsimons, bc might never have made it to your hands.
A big thank to all the advertisers who have and continue to make bc possible.
And a big thank you to you the readers for your support – online publishing offers different challenges and opportunities and we are constantly working to keep you updated as to what’s going on in Hong Kong without giving you a digital overload… Thank you!
21 years ago today, the first issue of bc magazine was published in Hong Kong, quite amazing how time flies.

Hong Kong has had it’s ups and downs and since the 1 September 1994, but we love her and our proud to call her home. We are HongKongers!
In loving memory of Elaine Chow who committed suicide in the early hours of the 27 October 2005. Gone but never forgotten!
Elaine was a wonderful, vibrant and happy woman, who brought joy to everyone she met. Her smile could and would brighten the sunniest and dreariest of days.
Her response to my full-time job offer during her internship was “You mean, you want to pay me to go out and eat”. Writing that here and remembering her radiant smile when she said it, has managed to bring a smile to my face – even through the massive cloak of despair that I still feel at her death.
And while tears run down my cheeks, and my heart breaks as my mind replays the images of Elaine falling to her death – so fast yet in slow motion as my brain cannot process the truth of what it sees and my legs will never be moving fast enough to reach her…
The pain of those memories never seems to fade, but nor I hope will the memories of her smile and the joy she infused to all around her. RIP Elaine.
3 people a day, on average, commit suicide in Hong Kong, it’s the unseen killer, if you know someone who’s talking (even jokingly) of it get them help/talk to them. If you’re thinking of suicide, please please talk to someone first.
