"It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in spring, when everything else begins again, and blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then, just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops."
- Bart Giamatti

Not born in Hong Kong but Harry Kingman was the first and only other major leaguer born in China. Here's a piece on him from SABR: http://sabr.org/bioproj/person/789104fb
And Robin Jennings was the only major leaguer born in Singapore (which was never part of China, but has a large Chinese population). Don't know how he came to be born there, either.
