Hong Kong educated Dr Manying Ip ONZM, BA (Hong Kong), MA, PhD, is Associate Professor of Chinese in the Asian Studies Department of the University of Auckland, New Zealand. She was born in 1945, in Guizhou, Mainland China, where her parents had taken refuge after the Japanese invasion of Hong Kong. Her family returned to Hong Kong, where she received a classical Chinese education at home, and an English education at school. She subsequently graduated with a BA (Hons) in history from the University of Hong Kong. In 1974 she immigrated to New Zealand, where she completed postgraduate studies, gaining an MA in Chinese literature and a PhD in History from the University of Auckland. Dr Ip is a highly respected public advocate for the Chinese communities and she was awarded the Suffrage Centennial Medal in 1993 and the ONZM (Officer of New Zealand Order of Merit) in 1996. She has written several books that have won wide critical acclaim and sold well.
