    Chasing the Dragon (Manga)

    Jackie Pullinger

    Formats & Editions

    Until it was pulled down, the Walled City was Hong Kong's most foreboding territory. It was a lawless place, dominated by the Triads, and which the police hesitated to enter. Strangers were unwelcome. Drug smuggling and heroin addiction flourished, as did prostitution and pornography, extortion and fear.

    When Jackie Pullinger set sail from England in 1966 she had no idea that God was calling her to the Walled City. Yet, as she spoke her message of love and hope, brutal Triad gangsters were converted, prostitutes quit, and Jackie discovered a miraculous new treatment for drug addiction...

    This classic true story has been a best-seller for almost thirty years, inspiring and thrilling generation after generation. Now it has been re-released as a graphic novel, in cutting edge Manga style - perfect for capturing the dark, claustrophobic atmosphere of the Walled City, the grittiness of the Triad world and the high adventure and emotional rollercoaster that took Jackie from innocent young stranger to one of Hong Kong's most celebrated and respected citizens.

    Jackie Pullinger

    In 1966 Jackie Pullinger went to Hong Kong on a one-way ticket and arrived knowing no one with just $100 HK in her pocket. She lived and worked in Kowloon's notorious 'Walled City' and saw the remarkable power of God working in the lives of the marginalised. The work grew, and by 1981 Jackie had set up the St Stephen's Society, providing rehabilitation homes for recovering drug addicts, sex workers and gang members.

    The charity's work has been recognized by the Hong Kong government who donated the land for the rehabilitation homes and thousands of people in Hong Kong and further afield have had their lives transformed in miraculous ways.

    Jackie's story is told in her book Chasing the Dragon and she still lives in Hong Kong and runs the St Stephen's Society.
