Twentieth Century Impressions of Hongkong, Shanghai, and other Treaty Ports of China/Hongkong/Chow Hing Ki
MR. CHOW HING KI, the compradore to the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, has lived in the Colony for about thirty years, and, during most of that time, has been connected with shipping. He received an English education at Queen's College, and, on leaving that establishment, started business with a shipping firm styled the Wo-kee Company. In those days he also looked after the Nyko Chinese business at this port, and when this Japanese firm opened a branch here became their compradore, in which position he is now assisted by Mr. Chun Yui Tong. Mr. Chow Hing Ki has been connected with the Nippon Yusen Kaisha for over fifteen years. He is a member of the consulting committee of the China Provident Loan and Mortgage Company, Ltd., for which Messrs. Shewan, Tomes & Co., are the local managers. Although his time is too fully occupied now to allow of participation in public affairs, he served formerly on the committee of the Po Leung Kuk. He is an influential and respected member of the Chinese mercantile community.
