Since retirement I have taken up old interests in earnest—Chinese-English translation (literary), poetry and the writing of novels for adults and young readers. My interests include Chinese literature and history, British history and classical music. My wife Siew is an artist who grew up in Kuala Lumpur. We lived in China, Taiwan and Malaysia in the 1980s. We currently live in Vancouver, Canada.view less
