A Tale of Two Baker Streets: The history of Hong Kong’s colonial street names

By Justin Cheuk Mar 9, 2016 | 4:59pm Hong Kong time

Hong Kong’s street names are one of more visible legacies from the colonial era. Whether they are derived from public figures or geographical landmarks, the kaleidoscopic collection has offered us a unique insight into the east-meets-west blending of cultures in the city.

Much of the names have remained unchanged in the post-handover world, allowing us to preserve the city’s heritage in its entirely. This is true even for the most undesirable namesakes. Take Elgin Street (伊利近街) in Central for example: it honours James Bruce, the eighth Earl of Elgin, who is responsible for the order to loot and destroy the Summer Palace in Beijing.

What conclusion can be drawn about the relationship of Joseph Lister’s and Louis Pasteur’s work?
MArishka [77]
<span>a. Lister’s work was only made possible by Pasteur’s discoveries.

Pasteur first theorized the cause of infection to be germs. Lister built on the "germ theory" and created the ideas of sterile surgery. 

Both Pasteur and Lister are credited for revolutionizing surgery to become a sterile process. Without Pasteur's "germ theory", Lister would not have had a theory to work from. The two scientists also corresponded with one another improving the process for sterilization. </span>
