| Chan was born in Fuzhou, China, in 1956 and moved to Hong Kong at the age of 5. He left school after only two years of education, when he was 13, in order to support his family.[8] Chan became an apprentice sculptor in 1973, when he was 16 years old. But by 1974 he had moved on to set up his own carving workshop.[9] He was a sculptor, carver and painter for decades before he began creating jewellery, wearable sculpture art, in 2001, after a six-month zen journey as a monk. |
