Lam is one of the five Causeway Bay Books publishers who were kidnapped by Chinese police for selling material critical of China's political elite. Lam fled to Taiwan in 2019 and raised money to reopen Causeway Bay Books so that people can better understand China and ponder the future of Hong Kong and Taiwan. The bookstore will open on 25 April.
