A Talented Professor-to-be from Hong Kong

His name is K P Tsang, an assistant professor-to-be at Virginia Tech, a very good school. And yes, he actually attends the same graduate school where professor Steven N S Cheung once taught.

To be honest with you, I find his non-economic blog posts in Chinese a better read than his techical work. Well at least you do not have to go through all those tables, equations and appendix which contains pages of proofs when reading the former. Here is a sample of his non-economic writing in Chinese:

自小就愛寫作，愛幻想自己有寫作天份。從高談闊論到多愁善感，揮筆直書，洋洋灑灑，實在是自我滿足的最佳選擇。但愛寫作跟擅寫作是兩回事，就如五音不全的愛唱歌、陽萎的好女色一樣，一腔熱誠可換來一盤冷水，一分努力未必得到一分收穫。...

到了研究院，有空閒，讀了許多中外名著，才知道我也許有一點研究的才能，卻沒有一點寫作的天份。讀了喬治‧奧威爾的散文集，還敢寫散文嗎？讀了托爾斯泰的小說，還敢寫小說嗎？讀了以賽亞‧伯林的長文，還敢寫評論文章嗎？我讀佛利民、張五常，也不至如此沮喪。於是，《舊浪新潮》處於半倒閉的狀態，而我這個網誌，也只會告訴大家這本那本書好看，不敢寫如這一篇的抒情文字。

And if you insist, here is where you can find some of Byron's technical papers.
