I grew up in Sichuan, China where the green hills and clear waters formed picturesque scenery which ensured my love for and closeness to nature could be tracked back to my childhood; and they were matched by literature, sport and music, preferably classic music.
I had a Party and Government Management diploma at the Chinese Open University in 1987. in which Politics, Literature, Management and History were compulsory; I worked as a Chinese Literary teacher, a secretary, a newspaper journalist, a PR of transnational corporation before I left China for UK.
I had a MA in Diplomatic Studies at University of Westminster in London in 1994; then worked in an international publishing company Sterling Publishings in London in 1990s, and running my own small property business. I have been living London since Autumn 1990.
