| Introduction | Andrew Wang-Fat Wong 黃宏發 (Chinese pinyin Huang Hongfa) was the last President of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong during British rule. He read English & Comparative Literature at the University of Hong Kong. He studied poetry under the great Chinese poetry translator Rev. John Turner, S.J. during his high school years and under the famed English poet Prof. Edmund Blunden in his university days. He first picked up this fascinating hobby in 2007 and has so far been concentrating on the “jueju” 绝句 or quatrain (4-lined verse) of the Tang Dynasty venturing occasionally into other forms of classical Chinese poetry. |
