Abstract	This book presents a narrative inquiry into the cross-cultural educational experiences of a family living in Hong Kong and Toronto, Canada. At heart a go-and-return story, Lau reflects on the difficulties of adjusting to the different practices of teaching and learning in two places with their own distinctive cultures. Ever more prescient now amid the current social and political upheavals in Hong Kong and around the world, the book considers the profound impacts such transitions have on families. By delving into the challenges of living, working, and learning across cultures, he reflects upon the deep-rooted values in both family and school landscapes to gain new insights about educational and cultural practices in Hong Kong and Toronto. Contents: Chapter 1: Prologue: I've Got a Name -- Chapter 2: Introduction -- Chapter 3: Autobiographical and Social Background to my Inquiry -- Chapter 4: Early Experience of Toronto and the Initial Transition -- Chapter 5: Education and School Life in Toronto -- Chapter 6: Leaving Canada and returning to Hong Kong -- Chapter 7: Experiencing the Cultural Landscape -- Chapter 8: Life and learning in a Multicultural World -- Chapter 9: Epilogue: A Fictional Conversation Between Father and Daughter.
