Teaching art has been an important part of the artist's life in
the last thirty years. From an ordinary physical education teacher of St.
Peter's Secondary School (from 1968-79), with the support of St. Peter's
Secondary School, Sino-British Fellowship Trust, Education Department of Hong
Kong and the British Council in 1972 and 1977, he had two further teachers
training in Hong Kong and then in London as an art teaching specialist. He later
joined the Hong Kong Polytechnic in 1979 as a lecturer and then Senior Lecturer.
After coming back from Sydney, he then joined the Macao Polytechnic in 1992 and
continued his role as a school administrator plus occasional teaching in drawing
and graphic design. Currently, he is the administrator for the Adult Education
Department of the Caritas of Macau and the Director of its Community Hall in
Macau. He is also a part-time instructor of ceramics in Kam Bik Community Centre
