Born in Hong Kong, he graduated from the Chinese Department of the New Asia College in Hong Kong, then studied at the University of Athens, Greece, where he obtained a Doctor of Philosophy degree. He has taught at the Department of Chinese Language and Literature of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Baptist University, the University of Hong Kong, and the Lingnan University.
