A writer, speaker and teacher whose lifelong subject is human freedom and contentment — Canadian by birth, Taiwanese by choice, internationalist by conviction. A long-time partner of My Culture Connect whose first book the association turned into a bilingual video series.
Leon and My Culture Connect share one conviction: that the point of an education is not a wage, but a free and meaningful life. Leon writes for that idea; MCC teaches for it. His themes — critical thinking, courage, gratitude, purpose — are exactly the values the hub wants to put into a young reader's hands.
Leon 與人師（MCC）共享同一個信念：教育的目的不是一份薪水，而是自由而有意義的人生。Leon 為這個理念書寫，人師為它教學。他筆下的主題——批判思考、勇氣、感恩、使命——正是本資源網想交到年輕讀者手中的價值。
This is not a name on a list. MCC took Leon's first book, Grandfather Is Dead, and built it into a 30-part bilingual video series for English learners — chapter by chapter — published on the association's learning-resources site. A book about freedom became a classroom of free readers.
這不是名單上的一個名字。人師把 Leon 的第一本書《Grandfather Is Dead》，逐章製作成三十集雙語影片，給英語學習者使用，發布在協會的學習資源網站上。一本關於自由的書，化為一間自由閱讀者的教室。
"My interest lies in human freedom and contentment; I encourage people to reflect on their path to success — whatever that entails for each of us. How do we become fulfilled, and what does this mean? To access this happiness, we must make an individual and life-long journey by utilizing critical thinking skills."

Thirty short chapters — "thirty pieces to assemble into an idea" — on education, critical thinking, fear, passion, freedom, gratitude and the courage to live an excellent life. The grandfather has died; what remains is his counsel.

The companion volume — the grandfather is still here, still speaking. Where the first book is remembrance, the second is the conversation still happening: time, truth, peace and joy, while there is still time to listen.
姊妹作——祖父仍在，仍在說話。如果第一本書是追憶，第二本便是仍在進行的對話：時間、真理、平靜與喜悅，趁還來得及聆聽。
