The memoir Ordinary Days by the scholar and critic Leo Ou-fan Lee and his wife Esther Lee Yuk Ying brings to this Hong Kong series an intensely personal touch, consciously echoing the great sentimental memoir of the eighteenth century, Shen Fu' s Six Chapters of a Floating Life. With disarming candour, Leo and Esther lay bare their hearts to share with us their story of love and suffering, charting in a series of memorable chapters their shared spiritual quest. Set partly against the recent backdrop of some of Hong Kong' s most turbulent years, partly in the far-flung diaspora of the Chinese intelligentsia, this is a revealing record of the inner life of a highly cultivated modern Chinese couple.
Leo Ou-fan Lee is Sin Wai Kin Professor of Chinese Culture at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. He is author of many books on Chinese literature and culture, and is also a great lover of Western classical music. Lee Yuk Ying is a published author and visual artist, whose paintings have been widely exhibited. Annie Ren Luman, translator, is a PhD candidate at The Australian National University, writing on the Chinese novel The Story of the Stone. Carol Ong, translator, was born in Taiwan. She studied translation at Melbourne University, where she is now employed. John Minford is editor of the series Hong Kong Literature in Translation series. He is Emeritus Professor of Chinese at The Australian National University and Sin Wai Kin Professor of Chinese Culture and Translation at the Hang Seng University of Hong Kong.
