Tse lived in a villageinSha Tin when he was small, and had a pet name, "Fook Chai", given by his neighbours. He was a lacklustre boy, and, according to his mother, he remained silent at all times even when his skin was being bit by ants. His family had to move from one location to other, thus Tse had changed his primary schools four times. Tse liked watching movies at cinemas; in order to earn money for buying tickets, he helped his classmates finish their art assignments as an odd-job. He had his secondary school life at St. Stephen's College, Stanley, where he built up his confidence. Then, he furthered his studies at the University of Sydney, majoring in Computer Science, Philosophy, and Education. He did not spend much time on his schoolwork, giving more of his attention to books in the library. While in Sydney, he became influenced by the cartooning style of Michael Leunig, a Melburnian who was (and remains to this day) one of the most popular and critically acclaimed cartoonists in Australia.
Tse had his early works published on "Ming Pao Weekly". He gained his inspiration from the picture books he read in Australia, of which Raymond Briggs had the greatest influence on his creative writing. Tse was famous for his so-called adult fairy tales joining philosophy, Buddhist proverbs, songs, photos, and comics. Tse's favourite pastimes include reading, listening music, and playing the piano.
