the famous Peace Hotel for lunch. I ordered quite a lot of delicious Shanghai food such as stinky tofu, roasted duck,
drunken crab, hairy crab and xiao long bao. I finished almost all the food and I was very full and satisfied.

‘Help me! Help me!’ But no one helped me. The gangsters took me to their house and locked me in a room.

Hong Kong where I live! I was thanks that the police caught the two gangsters and I safely came back to Hong
