But on unique occasions, it is equally important to take a retrospective look into the past to revisit truths that inform where we are today. As we approach July 1 this year, Hong Kong nears the midway mark of ‘one country, two systems’, the foundational principle governing the city for 50 years after its reunification with China in 1997.

But carving out time for a retrospective is equally important for us as a media organisation to review and draw lessons from the defining moments of the year gone by.
