After retirement, he has written three novels in English, two of which have been translated into Chinese, and a book on religion and another on philosophy.

The collection reflects his keen observations about the world around him, as well as meditations on keeping a balance between work and relaxation, and between worldly and spiritual aspects of life. ...
