ABOUT ME
At college, that's decades ago, I was doing literature study, and thinking to pursuit a critic's career. But life changes. My way in life leads to many turn around. I did teach Chinese for several years, then a new friend after a short talk enrolled me to a media job covering news aroung world. After 3 years, another occasion chanced me to the business world and continnued for 15 years,in muliti- fields. I always didn't do it whole heartedly.Life is generous too. Upon quitting career life, a critic and commentary magazine offered a position. Since then, I have been doing editing of magazine. I enjoy it and this time, whole heartedly. For one thing, I now have to read works in many fields and meet many interesting and thinking persons. My lesson is : Brave to try new things and meeting new people is rewarding.
We are a fmaily of four, living in HK island. My wife is a journlist. The elder daughter Elise is in her second year of college, the younger one Frieder is in Primary 4.
