British Hong Kong
Hong Kong was a colony and later a dependent territory of the British Empire from 1841 to 1997, apart from a period of occupation under the Japanese Empire from 1941 to 1945 during the Pacific War.

Diary Of A Serial Killer
A diary is a written or audiovisual record with discrete entries arranged by date reporting on what has happened over the course of a day or other period.
