William Yu, like many others of his generation in China, never had
persistent and systematic education or training, due to the
Cultural Revolution. However, he has a degree in Traditional
Chinese Medicine, an MA in Developmental Psychology from Nanjing
Normal University, and spent time as a PhD candidate at Beijing
Normal University. He also has a Massage Therapy Diploma from
Centennial College and a Physiotherapy Assistant diploma from triOS
College.
Among other jobs, Yu has worked as a set designer for a theatre
company, a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine at a major
Chinese neuropsychiatry hospital, a clinical consultant, a news
translator at China Express (South Africa), an assistant factory
manager, a news translator at Sing Tao Daily, Ming Pao, and as a
registered massage therapist (RMT) at various clinics and spas in
Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Having lived through the Cultural Revolution, he wants to ensure
that it is not forgotten, especially because China doesn't want
people to talk openly about it. Yu is also interested in how the
macro-social environment profoundly affects individuals' emotional,
personality, and behavioural development. Yu is a co-author of
Children's Socialization and Education (1992). Wandering Stragglers
is his first work of fiction.
William Yu lives alone in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
