The Teddy Bear Chronicles (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789882371859)

Xi Xi, pseudonym of Cheung Yin, was born in Shanghai in 1938, and moved to Hong Kong with her family in 1950. In 1957, she studied at the Grantham College of Education, graduating to become a teacher at a government primary school. Increasingly she concentrated on her career as a writer, and her fiction and poetry won her many literary prizes, including the 1983 United Daily Award in Taiwan for her short story 'A Girl Like Me', and the 2018 Newman Prize for Chinese literature at the University of Oklahoma. In recent years, she has become very fond of making her own rag dolls and teddy bears.
