Bernard Ming-Deh Harrison, born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on the 31st of December, 1951. Tell us a little about your parents and what they did. My mother was a nurse, she was Chinese, a nurse during the Second World War. She was born in Fuzhou, China, and then her parents moved to Perak in Malaysia. My father was a English major in the army in the Second World War. A zoologist, actually entomologist by training.
