Arthur van Langenberg

Arthur van Langenberg has lived in Hong Kong all his life except for four years in Macau during World War II and two years in Britain undergoing medical training. He has practised surgery for some 50 years, first at the Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong and then in private practice. His lifelong interest in reading and gardening has helped him morph from surgeon to gardener to writer, finding fulfilment and a simpler way of life over the years.
