Ching Cheong graduated with a degree in economics from the University of Hong Kong in 1973 and joined the pro-Beijing newspaper Wen Wei Po in Hong Kong in 1974 and became its deputy editor-in-chief in 1988. He quit the newspaper in 1989 in protest against the Tiananmen crackdown and founded a China-watch magazine, The Contemporary.

In his 35-year long journalistic career, Ching specialized in political, military and diplomatic news in the Greater China area and had widespread postings experiences in Hong Kong, Beijing, and Taipei. In 2005, his critical analysis led to his imprisonment in China. During his incarceration, the local and international press community extended him great support, which led to his early release in 2008.

本書探討有關六七暴動的幾個概觀問題，解讀吳荻舟《六七筆記》。 

吳荻舟長期領導中共在香港的地下黨，掌握中共對香港的政策，他留下來的筆記，反映了當年中共在港的活動。吳荻舟筆記提供了暴動期間的內情和一手線索以及總理周恩來在暴動中的角色等。

The book is about the origin and end of the 1967 riots in Hong Kong. A trove of information has been unveiled for the first time, based on a chronicle kept by a senior official, Ng Tik-chou, who assisted then Premier Zhou Enlai in managing the riot, which was instigated by local communists.
