Later I fled to Hong Kong and lived there for a few years before I emigrated to America where I continued to write poems for what I saw, what I heard and what I felt in and with this country, but in both Chinese and English. I believe that life is the main source for my poetic creativity, personal emotion is the turn on switch and writing skill just makes it well done. Life sometimes is easy, sometimes is tough, sometimes is happy and sometimes is better,. It does not matter what happened to me, I just take it; like an old Chinese saying: "Eat whatever they serve me." Because life keeps changing so do my emotions ( love, joy, hate, fear and grief) which usually recorded in the form of poetry. I've edited my poetry into three anthologies: one in Chinese, one in both Chinese and English, and the last one in English only. However I would publish the last one first.
In the world, there are not many people who are lucky enough to have chances to keep their hobbies as their careers or to keep their careers as their hobbies.
Writing poems is my hobby, not my job. I used to work in an electric company for a livign and I was lucky to have spare time to write poems. I was lucky enough to have found another job during the US recession time and keep my hobby going. Some of my poems have been recognized by the International Poetry Library and Noble House Publishers. I have received Silver Bowl awards twice and have been selected as one of the best poets of 2003 and 2004. Recently my peom" Decision" was published on the International Who's Who In Poetry. I have a nice family, my wife Hannah, our daughter Fontaine and son Anthony, who have been staying with me for the good time and the hard time.
