Description
In this sagacious blend of memoir, modern history and science, the author reveals an immigrant story made arduous by a rare life-threatening illness.This powerful, sensitive book is a must for anyone who reflects deeply about the human condition and the world around us.
In the late 70's life was tough for anyone growing up on a gritty council estate in the North of England. For ten-year-old Kin Kam, life was that much tougher.
From a shy Chinese boy in colonial Hong Kong to life as a scientist, inventor and entrepreneur, Blood, Dragons and Lions is the extraordinary story of the author's battle to overcome life's challenges in spite of living with a serious disabling condition.
Through protracted ill health, coupled with periods of religious and scientific introspection, Kin uncovers a new understanding about spirituality which radically frees his body and mind to realise greater inner peace and creative endeavours.
Revealing vivid insights into faith, identity and geopolitics across the cultures of East and West, Kin takes us on a thought-provoking journey through contemporary history and a personal growth odyssey from disadvantaged child facing-up to bullying and prejudice, to bold risk-taking entrepreneur twice appearing on BBC's Dragons' Den.
Uncompromisingly hard-hitting, yet warm and uplifting, Blood, Dragons and Lions entertains and enlightens in equal measure.
