Chung’s new book, Ching Chong China Girl: From Fruitshop to Foreign Correspondent is a hilarious and bittersweet memoir of growing up different in an eccentric but traditional Chinese-Tasmanian family. Surviving childhood, Helene fell into journalism, became the first non-white reporter on Australian TV and the ABC’s first female foreign correspondent. Ching Chong China Girl is filled with honesty, humour, love and loss, and gives insight into life traversing cultures East and West.

Helene Chung will discuss the book with ABC Radio National’s Julie Copeland.
