底下是 City of Broken Promises 的內容簡介
The city is Macao, the Portuguese settlement on the China Coast, as it was more than 200 years ago. The promises are those made by Englishmen to marry their Macao mistresses, only to leave them abandoned and their children bastards. Martha Merop and her English lover are unique in this period. He, son of the founder of Lloyd’s and cousin of the philosopher, Jeremy Bentham, was one of the first merchants to oppose the trade in opium. She, Chinese, abandoned at birth and sold into prostitution at the age of thirteen, became an international trader in her own right, the richest woman on the China Coast and Macao’s greatest public benefactress. This moving novel that captures the time and place so convincingly is a historical reconstruction of the years 1780 to 1795 when the two were together. It is based on oral tradition handed down through generations in Macao, and on documents that survive about them in Macao, Lisbon and London. Austin Coates identified Martha Merop’s lover, about whom little was known. The documents about him confirmed the traditional Macao story, and the outcome was this book.
作者簡介
AUSTIN COATES
Austin Coates (1922–97), a former senior British civil servant in Hong Kong, Malaya, and Sarawak, left government service at age forty to pursue a professional writing career. Widely regarded as the most distinguished English-language author in Hong Kong, Coates remained a long-time Hong Kong resident, later dividing his time between Hong Kong and Portugal, where he died. The City of Broken Promises is a companion to his two other books on Macao: A Macao Narrative and Macao and the British. Both these books and his other novel, The Road, are also available in the Echoes series from Hong Kong University Press.

行政院長賴清德今天走訪桃竹苗地區，了解「浪漫台三線」工作成果與推動情形，並由客委會主委李永得陪同。賴清德笑說，他希望清明假期能到處走走，「永德規劃到浪漫台三線」，一起「浪漫一下」，他更打趣說「居然沒有找妻子邱議瑩，反而找我。」
賴清德表示，今天走訪浪漫台三線，也從中了解「台三線文藝復興運動計畫」，也希望讓全國民眾知道，台三線是值得旅遊的地方。
賴清德致詞表示，「客家浪漫台三線計畫」是客委會主要業務，也是總統蔡英文重要政策，希望藉由文化保存發揚、環境改造、產業振興，能找回光榮感，讓更多年輕人願意回鄉工作，能讓地方生活越來越好。
執行長曾綉雅簡報時表示，在台三線文藝復興運動計畫首年以關西鎮、橫山鄉、竹東鎮為主要營造範圍，透過各項計畫與活動等，挖掘梳理台三線的文化底蘊，活絡台三線沿線社區活力，帶動民眾參與台三線願景的打造與公共事務參與。
簡報後，由在場農友、民眾等提出問題。24歲返鄉青農羅仕伃表示，他回到竹縣關西鎮採用天然的防治病蟲害方法耕種稻米、櫛瓜等農作物，但要進行耕作得有不少設施，如噴霧操作得添購基金，但對於剛務農的他，也很難有資金可以購買，期政府在青年返鄉務農，能多有鼓勵措施。
大山背橘農農友曾揚景說，「農友看天吃飯，有時大好、有時大壞」。如今年柑橘類生產過剩，希望由中央能成立「加工廠」，讓這些過剩的水果，能有再一次的利用，避免浪費。
賴清德表示，將會把相關建議帶回，於各部會一同討論，擬出解決方法，幫助在地農友。
