He's romantic, he's all is forgiven, he's brilliant, he's an alcoholic, he's chivalrous, he's just an ordinary man.
He is James J.S.Wong, one of the "Four Great Talents in Xiangjiang".
the three people set off each other, interpret each other and complement each other. If Jin Yong described the whole Jianghu, Tsui Hark presented the most wonderful part of the Jianghu to us, and James J.S.Wong wrote the "soul" of the Jianghu.
in addition to unparalleled achievements, all people have a common feature, that is, romantic.
among them, James J.S.Wong is the most prominent.
Looking back on James J.S.Wong's 6-year life, it is just like his 12 words of self-mockery.
1
In 1949, an 8-year-old boy named Huang Zhansen followed his father's footsteps and came to Hong Kong. Like a large number of refugees who flooded into Hong Kong, they settled in Sham Shui Po.
In primary school, Huang Zhansen studied at La Salle College (a famous male Catholic middle school in Hong Kong), and at that time he studied with his cousin.
One day, cousin Huang Zhansen was beaten. Influenced by his father, Huang Zhansen had a chivalrous courage since he was a child. At that time, he found the classmate with his cousin without saying anything. Although the spirit is good, after all, the strength is there. Thin Huang Zhansen was "fat-beaten" by his classmates.
It may be appreciate each other, the hero. Huang Zhansen, who has never met before, has become a close friend with that classmate. That classmate's name is Bruce Lee.
Until he grew up, James J.S.Wong always showed off when he met people. He had a one-on-one fight with Bruce Lee. It's just that every time I talk about it, I always feel lonely.
In middle school, an amateur singing competition became popular. Huang Zhansen, who is a "hot station", naturally cannot fall.
However, at that time, the master was like a cloud, and Huang Zhansen was afraid of losing the game, so he gave himself a stage name "James J.S.Wong". Naturally, the results were not very satisfactory, so the name James J.S.Wong didn't arouse much response at that time.
In 196, at the age of 19, James J.S.Wong was admitted to the Chinese Department of the University of Hong Kong.
James J.S.Wong gradually showed his talent for writing during his college years. Not long after, Li Xianglan's "One-night Stand" started shooting, and James J.S.Wong was invited to participate in the dubbing.
Unexpectedly, James J.S.Wong's romantic life also started with One-Night Romance.

In 1965, a gifted scholar who graduated from the Chinese Department plunged into the advertising industry. James J.S.Wong, who is gifted and speaks amazingly, can always firmly grasp the hearts of consumers with a short sentence.
Among them, the most amazing thing is that sentence: "As soon as Remy Martin leaves, good luck will come naturally". It even became a buzzword in the streets and alleys of Hong Kong at that time. No less than today's: "I am too difficult."
James J.S.Wong has been involved in a wide range of subjects all his life, but with his solid knowledge of Chinese, he can do every line with ease.
Among them, music and host are the most worth mentioning.
I remember reading an evaluation of James J.S.Wong on "something": "You may not know James J.S.Wong, but you will fall on your knees when you see his works."
James J.S.Wong's dissolute and uninhibited behavior fully embodies the word "Jianghu".
In 198, Chow Yun Fat and Angie Chiu were all over the country because of a drama. This play is "Shanghai Beach", which is well-known compared with the male and female hosts. Among them, the theme song created by James J.S.Wong has been enduring for 4 years. It took James J.S.Wong only 2 minutes to write this song.
At that time, Gu Jiahui gave James J.S.Wong seven days, but James J.S.Wong, who was playful, didn't start writing until Gu Jiahui called when the manuscript was due, and James J.S.Wong remembered that he had something to do. Can't, James J.S.Wong in desperation can only use is "toilet" to send Gu Jiahui. Then I went into the toilet for inspiration.
In the toilet, James J.S.Wong was full of thoughts, and it took him only ten minutes to complete the whole lyrics, but he was stuck on whether to use "waves or surges". After much deliberation, James J.S.Wong was also undecided. Finally, when James J.S.Wong got up to flush the toilet, he was inspired, and the "surge" was too grandiose and too stormy. And "wave flow" can better reflect the love of the children of the rivers and lakes, so it was finalized immediately and "wave flow" was used!
Actually, even James J.S.Wong didn't expect that this "romantic and cynical" song would become an eternal classic. Even now, it is still familiar, and even people who don't know Cantonese will hum a few words.
In 1983, TVB entered the martial arts series and filmed the classic TV series Legend of the Condor Heroes. After the filming was completed, it was delayed because there was no suitable theme song. Until James J.S.Wong's "Hello All the Time" appeared.
This peerless and arrogant song is simply a portrayal of the love between Guo Jing and Huang Rong. I spent my whole life interpreting that sentence: In my heart, you are the highest in this mountain! . When director Wang Tianlin heard this, he clapped his thigh happily. Isn't this the "Jianghu" we are looking for and the "romantic" flavor we want?
In the legendary swordsman, James J.S.Wong didn't even get Tsui Hark's satisfaction by writing dozens of drafts. In desperation, James J.S.Wong leafed through ancient books and finally saw the word "Great Dao Yi Jian", which was like an awakening. Only five ancient notes of Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng and Yu were used to form the final draft.
Moreover, in order to "repay" Tsui Hark's repeated rejection, James J.S.Wong drew a "male genitalia" on the music score and wrote: "The last draft, if it doesn't work, I won't write it".
Tsui Hark was amazed when he saw it, and bluntly said, "This song should only exist in the sky, and it is rare to hear it on earth.". So there was a 9-year-old version of the legendary swordsman's bloody affair, a charming Ling Huchong, and the eternal swan song "The Sea Laughs".
The sea laughs, and the tides on both sides of the strait rise and fall with the waves. Just remember that there are many laughs in the sky today. Who will bear the brunt of the tide in the world will win?
James J.S.Wong's words are full of billowing waves and lofty sentiments, as well as the fireworks in the city and the dissoluteness and freedom of little people.
I remember someone once commented on James J.S.Wong: "He has the mentality of a traditional scholar, but at the same time he is somewhat Jianghu."
Anyway, James J.S.Wong wrote his own "a vulgar, a wild, a crazy and a true" with a pen.

James J.S.Wong, Ni Kuang and Cai Lan are also called "three famous mouths in Hong Kong", among which the most famous one is "No Defense Tonight" hosted by their three old friends.
Speaking of the birth of this program, it still comes from the "romantic" of these three talented people.
At first, James J.S.Wong often dragged Ni Kuang and Cai Lan to nightclubs, because the little sisters in nightclubs were "uneven" in appearance, and some entertainment companies, such as TVB and ATV, took them away.
So lonely three people often tell "dirty jokes" to the ladies after drinking in nightclubs, and often make them laugh.
It didn't last long before Ni Kuang reacted: "We spend money telling jokes, but the key is not even beautiful women. How ugly it is to tell them."
So the three of them discussed it, so they might as well start a program by themselves and invite some beautiful guests, with beautiful women to watch, wine to drink and money to take. So a program as big as "Pacific" was born.
The program often invited beautiful women from absolute beauty at that time, such as Rosamund Kwan, Angie Chiu, Brigitte Lin and so on, as their guests. In the program, three old goat talk freely and freely, from the thousand-year history of the vast starry sky to the color of clothes and underwear. There is nothing they don't talk about, and there is nothing they are afraid of.
And James J.S.Wong doesn't drink very well. Often, while the program is still being recorded, he falls asleep on the sofa. Can be said to be the most romantic and willful host.
In 21, James J.S.Wong suffered from cancer. Due to frequent chemotherapy, his hair became thinner, so he simply shaved it off with a wave of his hand. Instead of being embarrassed after shaving, Mai Jia and Luo Jiaying were invited to start the program "Three Bald Guys".
On TV, we simply can't see the sadness and loneliness that a patient should have. What can be seen is only his more open-minded and free and easy.
people live for a lifetime, with a period of 39 days. Who dares to say that "step by step" is life? At least I didn't see it in James J.S.Wong.

"Yan Ni missed his life at first sight."
The stories of talented people and beautiful women are always talked about by people. But if James J.S.Wong didn't have a wife and a father of three children, maybe there would be no such sentence as "I am the worst man in the world".
James J.S.Wong met Lin Yanni for the first time in 1975 and was immediately attracted by her beauty. Lin Yanni, on the other hand, doesn't like this foul-mouthed man and doesn't even want to get in touch with him.
However, Lin Yanni still looked down upon James J.S.Wong, who had a romantic life. After fierce pursuit, Lin Yanni's heart was finally moved.
On the first day of 1989, under the witness of Jin Yong, the two of them ordered a piece of marriage paper, which read:
I remember that James J.S.Wong later described this relationship with Lin Yanni, and bluntly said that he was like a monkey at that time, but he held his own chain in Lin Yanni's hand. She pulls gently, and I'll go home.
It's a pity that the happy days didn't take long before their relationship broke down. In the same year, James J.S.Wong's film investment failed, owing tens of millions of huge debts.
After a double defeat in love, James J.S.Wong, who was made of iron, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and several times she had the idea of suicide.
being knowledgeable can't escape the word "love". No matter how romantic James J.S.Wong is, the deep feeling in his bones can't be erased. I think if James J.S.Wong, who has been "not serious all his life", has to say one thing he regrets, it's probably that he can't own Lin Yanni.
Buddha said that life has eight sufferings: "life, old age, illness, death, longing, love parting, long-lasting resentment, longing and unwillingness to let go".
I think when we can't have it, the most important thing to do is not to forget it.

On November 24th, 24, James J.S.Wong died of illness.
the deceased is like a husband, never giving up day and night.
At the memorial service, the long-echoed "Chu Liuxiang" is a portrayal of the life of this "Xiangjiang gifted scholar".
With the death of James J.S.Wong, I saw the end of an era. His life has witnessed the rise and fall of Hong Kong's "Jianghu".
There are talented people in the Jiangshan generation. We don't know whether there will be such a romantic talent as James J.S.Wong in the future.
However, what is certain is that James J.S.Wong's name will still be circulated, and there will still be his legend in the Jianghu ...
