Willy Tsang Mang Kin, his father, born in 1910, is a Chinese, namely Hakka, immigrant from Moyen, Canton, who settled in Mauritius in 1932, at age 22, and his mother, Solange Atuchen (Wong Sen Siou), was born at Mount Estate, Pamplemousses, Mauritius in 1920. In 1940, Pierre-Michel Tsang Mang Kin, Joseph's only senior, died at age 3, giving Joseph seniority over the upcoming 11 brothers and sisters. ↵Joseph Tsang Mang Kin was brought up in a totally Hakka environment and attended the Chinese Middle School in China Town, Port-Louis, Mauritius, from 1942 to 1946.

In January 1950, he was admitted to the Royal College Port-Louis (Mauritius) which he left in 1956, after obtaining his Higher School Certificate. Raised and educated in the Mauritian capital, Port-Louis, Joseph started dabbling in poetry as a teenager at age 14, composing his first sonnet in 1952,〔Royal College School Magazine, 1957, p. 24, by Georges Telescourt〕 entitled: " Ode to Inspiration", followed by several compilations which he later published, generally orbiting around Philosophy. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joseph Tsang Mang Kin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
