Professor Yen, born in South China before 1949, has a remarkable personal journey that spans Southeast Asia, Australia, and Hong Kong. With a rich cultural background rooted in traditional Chinese values like diligence, perseverance, resilience, and determination, Professor Yen has a unique perspective on the fascinating interplay of cultural and social values between East and West. In his book, he shares his life story, detailing his unwavering pursuit of academic excellence. As an ethnic minority in Australian society, Professor Yen dedicated himself to advocating for the interests of the Chinese diaspora and promoting multi-culturalism in Australia. This book serves as a valuable resource for scholars studying intellectuals from the Chinese diaspora who have pursued education and careers in Western universities. Through his eyes, readers gain insight into his initial challenges of adjusting to a new Western environment, experiences of cultural dislocation, clashes of cultural values, and encounters with racial discrimination. Professor Yen's journey is a testament to his resilience and determination in overcoming these obstacles, ultimately achieving academic excellence.
