To date, I have translated many books from Chinese into English and vice versa. Most of them are children comics and short stories, and some are related to history, news and current affairs, and culture.
I am a keen reader who often strives to polish my Chinese and English writing skills. Other than reading, Chinese podcast programmes as well as English radio stations such as BBC and ABC are also my favourite to keep myself a sensitive writer when handling both languages.
