Contrast@1963 is in a sense 3 books by 3 authors (all born in 1963) hailing from 3 different places: Taipei, Hong Kong and Shenzhen. Authors Yang Shao (Taipei), Ma Ka-fai (Hong Kong) and Hu Hongxia (Shenzhen) compare and contrast the meaning and historical significance of 30 words and phrases in Taiwan, Hong Kong and mainland China.
