Katy Phoon

A Fine Piece of Jade

Short stories, long stories. They told us stories about their childhood in an era where families were torn apart by war and people’s fates were swept by political tides. As Katy listened to these familiar tales, she felt the warmth around her, like when she was waking up to a bright, sunny morning. Only this time, she was waking up to the past.

About the author

Katy Phoon is my pen name. When I was born, a typhoon named Kate hit Hong Kong, so I came up with the name ‘KaTyphoon’. I must have some connection with typhoons, as my daughter was also born during a typhoon. Even my son, Brendan, had his name used once to name a typhoon in Hong Kong.
