Fleming Road
Fleming Road (Chinese: 菲林明道) is a road in Wan Chai and Wan Chai North on the Hong Kong Island of Hong Kong. The road begins south with Johnston Road, runs across Hennessy Road, Lockhart Road and Jaffe Road, flies over Gloucester Road and runs across Harbour Road and ends at the junction with Convention Avenue and Expo Drive East.
History
The road was named after Francis Fleming, Colonial Secretary of Hong Kong between 1890 to 1892. The road was built on the 1921 reclamation. In the 1970s, another reclamation extended the road to Wan Chai North by the Victoria Harbour.
At the junction of Fleming Road and Lockhart road, a 3-storey building housed comfort women for the Japanese Army during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong between 1940 and 1945.
On 17 December 2005, during the WTO Ministerial Conference of 2005, protestors from South Korea broke the police defense line on Lockhart Road and rushed along Fleming Road in an attempt to break into the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai North. A full scale clash with the Hong Kong Police Force took place at this road and Central Plaza.
Flaming Heart
In your face
I saw risk
Well worth the taking
Time alone
The first kiss
No taking
I loved you from the start
Lost control
Of my flaming heart
Too cold when we're apart
Babe behold
This flaming heart
As the years
Been rollin' by
I've been searchin'
Who had the keys
To the flaming heart
You see emergin'
I loved you from the start
Can't you feel
My flaming heart
Never be apart
No one can steal from you this
Flaming heart
(Talk about it James)
(So listen baby we're talkin' 'bout)
I
The fire
I can see
Within you burnin'
Desire
Same as me
Endless yearnin'
I loved you from the start
With the heat
Of a flamin' heart
We can't be apart no more with need
Of this
Flamin' heart
(Guaranteed)
