About the speaker
Patrick M Dransfield remembers first experiencing ‘wanderlust’ when, at the age of six, his father, Philip Brook Dransfield, read the diaries recorded when Philip was a young petty officer in the Royal Navy visiting China, Japan, Australia and the Dutch East Indies in 1945-6. The worlds of travel and eastern philosophies continue to fascinate – along with Patrick’s profound wish to escape the mundane through Art.
Patrick majored in English and History of Art at Leeds University and holds a Masters degree in Chinese History, Politics and Anthropology from SOAS, University of London. He is the author of ‘The Inner Circle Wu Xing’ series of novels and also "Track of Time: Moments of Transition". a book based on the Hong Kong Foreign Correspondents’ Club Wall Exhibition of his ‘Old Beijing’ photographs of October 2020.
