ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Francis came to Australia at the tender age of 16. He graduated from Sydney University and completed a Master degree in structural engineering from the University of New South Wales, winning the Senior Prize in Civil Engineering upon graduation. He became a design engineer and later the Environmental Engineer of Public Works Department. He is also a highly qualified translator.
In 1993 he followed his heart and assumed a full-time position as a journalist/broadcaster/writer. He has since written two bi-lingual essay collections: <English Idioms: a cultural fascination> and <English Idioms: under the lucky stars>, with emphasis on cultures and attitudes. His unique experience over the years, together with his deep insight into events and rich feelings on life in general have all come together and fused into his post-retirement book: <Out of Bounds: Journey of a migrant>. The book also features a Chinese version <步出雷池：一個移民的旅程>. His latest book is on English teaching：<English: Wonder in a Nutshell>.
Francis was the Head of the Chinese Cantonese Group at SBS Radio – a national broadcaster, until his retirement in March 2008.
