Albert Leung (born 7 December 1961, Шаблон:Zh)[1] is a Hong Kong lyricist and writer.
Education
Leung attended all-boy secondary schools in Kowloon at Chan Sui Ki (La Salle) College and La Salle College. He received a bachelor of arts with a major in translation studies from the University of Hong Kong in 1984.
Songwriting career
He has been a Cantopop lyricist since 1985, using the pen name Lam Chik. The Chinese characters for this name, 林夕, written vertically, look like the compound (simplified) character Шаблон:Linktext (jyutping: mung6, pinyin: mèng), meaning "dream".
He has written over 3500 song lyrics.[2][3][4] He is well known for composing lyrics very quickly. On TVB's show Be My Guest, he admitted that his fastest record for writing the complete lyrics to a song is 45 minutes.
His most noted songwriting partnership is with composer Zhang Yadong for Faye Wong,[5] but he has also written with Leslie Cheung, Andy Lau,[1] Miriam Yeung and many others.
He composed the lyrics to the song "Beijing Welcomes You", a six-minute song which was performed for the 2008 Beijing Olympics by a panoply of popular Chinese singers, and which proved extremely popular with the Chinese public.[6]
In May 2009 he published a book about his creative work in the previous decade, 曾經—林夕90前後 ('Once–Lin Xi's 1990s from beginning to end').[7]
In November 2019, over thousands of songs written by Leung were reportedly taken down from online music stores in China after voicing support for the 2019–20 Hong Kong protests,[8] after collaborating with Taiwanese band Fire EX. to write a song in support of the protests.[9]
