《百年钟声：香港沉思录》八章，除过《漫长而艰难的中英谈判》和《蹉跎岁月，峥嵘人生》是写回归前的历史截面之外，其余各章主要书写回归后的现实情状。这也许是读者最为期待也是作者最有价值的着力之处。这些方面包括：解放军驻港部队面临的各种考验和优异表现，香港各路精英的成长之路和对港贡献，香港的慈善事业，香港的民生、医疗、文化、媒体、教育，香港的廉政建设，香港面临的现实挑战与前景，等等。这些方面，是回归之后香港面貌的写照，是香港的现在进行时。其中一些章节内容，不光是当今香港成功经验的写照，对大陆乃至许多国家地区都有借鉴意义，其中最为突出的，如香港的廉政建设。

内容简介
回归祖国十六年，香港发生了怎样的变化？祖国对香港的发展给予了多少支持和影响？香港同胞的民心回归、对祖国的认同感如何？香港给内地带来了怎样的启迪与反思？
作者着力书写了回归后的现实情状，其中包括：解放军驻港部队面临的各种考验和优异表现，香港各路精英的成长之路及对港贡献，香港的慈善事业，香港的民生、医疗、文化、媒体、教育，香港的廉政建设，香港所面临的挑战与前景等。
作者真实书写了回归后香港的现状。其中一些章节，不仅是当今香港成功经验的写照，而且对内地乃至许多国家地区的发展有着借鉴意义，其中最为突出的是香港的廉政建设。

What sort of changes has Hong Kong seen in the eighteen years since its return to China. And what sort of support has the motherland provided to Hong Kong's development? How has the support influenced it? Do the people of Hong Kong feel a sense of belonging where the motherland is concerned? And what sort of enlightenment and reflection has Hong Kong occasioned in the mainland?
       
The author has strived to portray the reality of post-return Hong Kong, including: the tests faced by the PLA's Hong Kong garrison (as well as its achievements); the path to success and the contributions of a number of Hong Kong's elites; charity in Hong Kong; the lives of the city's people, as well as its culture, media, and education; the origins of clean governance in Hong Kong; the challenges the city faces, and its prospects.

The author has written the truth of Hong Kong post-return. Some chapters, particularly the one on clean governance, go beyond simply portraying Hong Kong's success; they hold instructive value for both the mainland and many other countries and regions.
