Leung Ping Kwan (1949–2013) was one of Hong Kong's most celebrated literary figures and a highly versatile writer. Writing mainly in the Chinese language under the pen name Yasee, his poetry and prose have been widely translated into English, French, Korean, Japanese, Arabic, Portuguese, and German.
