The short story collection Bison was published by Su Yeh Literature in 1980 and reprinted by Oxford University Press in 2016. An English translation of Bison was published by Renditions Books (CUHK) in 2016.

Bison includes ten short stories: “The Buddha Fish,” “Stone,” “Mountain,” “Wood,” “The Sea,” “Martha and Mary,” “The Hunter,” “Bison,” “An Indian Who Fainted by the Waterside,” and “Letters.” Some of the tales are about journeys into jungles and wildernesses, while others are Xubin’s rewriting of myths and legends. Her themes are big ones: the human pursuit of meaning and origins, the desire for communication and understanding, and the experience of loss and transcendence. These lushly imagined stories invent new relationships among environments, animals and people.

Ng Hui Bun, Wu Xubin or Betty Ng (1949- ), was born in Hong Kong. Her pseudonyms include “Ng Ji Bun”(吳而斌), “Ji Bun” (而斌), “Ng Fung” (吳風), and “Sek Wu” (石壺) and others. She holds a Master of Science degree in Ecology from San Diego State University. In the 1970s, Hui Bun began to publish her short stories, poems, essays and translation in journals like The Chinese Student Weekly, Four Seasons, and Thumb Weekly. She was also a member of the editing board of Four Seasons and Thumb Weekly. Hui Bun’s major works include the Chinese translation of Jean-Paul Sartre’s Nausea (1971), and the short story collections Bison (1980), The Collected Stories of Ng Hui Bun: An Indian Who Fainted by the Waterside (1987), and Watching Cows (1991). “Watching Cows” (January to April 1983) is the name of a special column that appeared in Express, a local newspaper. The essays were published in 1991 as a collection and reprinted in 2020 by The House of Hong Kong Literature.
