Famous Hong Kong-American novelist Ni Kuang (Ngai Hong, 倪匡) has regretfully put his pen down for good. On 3rd July around 1pm, the 87-year-old author passed away peacefully at home.

His passing marks the end of an era, both in the screenwriting field and among novelist fans. Friends, peers and co-workers alike have come forward to wish the venerated author goodbye, including names like Jackie Chan (成龍), Andy Lau (劉德華) and Bowie Tsang (曾寶儀).

Ni Kuang is famously known for writing wuxia (martial art heroes) and science fiction novels. Fans especially will remember his “Teenage Wisely (少年衛斯理系列)” series. He’s also had a huge hand in writing scripts for popular films such as the “One-Armed Swordsman (独臂刀)”.

Despite his passing, Ni Kuang’s legacy remains strongly burning in people’s minds. Hong Kong star Jackie Chan wrote, “I just found out that Senior Ni Kuang has also left. The talented Hong Kong talent in our hearts represents the splendour of an era. (We’ll) miss you.”

Artist Andy Lau who has worked with Ni Kuang during one of his films, also offered a few words in light of Ni Kuang’s passing. “I am deeply sorry for Mr. Ni Kuang’s passing. In my heart, he is a wise old man,” he stated. Andy added that he has benefitted a lot from Ni Kuang and has consulted him on various matters before. “It was a (blessing) to know him. The Hong Kong literary world is definitely at a great loss without him,” Andy said.

Singer Bowie Tsang too shared her memories of Ni Kuang. Apparently, she had been an avid reader of his books and treasured the insights he shared with readers. Bowie was also fortunate enough to meet him once during the Hong Kong Film Awards 2012. “Although I was wearing heavy makeup and a dress at that time, (it) was like I had returned to primary school,” she said.

Bowie had thanked the author profusely then, explaining that she liked his books. In response, Ni Kuang had merely smiled shyly. After his passing, Bowie explained she is still grateful for Ni Kuang. “Thank you for your work which enriched my life,” she wrote in her final goodbye to him.

It’s the dream of every author to have made a mark on someone’s life, be it big or small. Well, Ni Kuang has certainly succeeded at that, and more! We too wish him well on his next journey and hope to meet him again in his writing.
