Lin Xi Birthday, Date of Birth

Albert Leung Wai Man (simplified Chinese: 梁伟文; traditional Chinese: 梁偉文; Jyutping: Loeng4 Wai5 Man4, born 7 December 1961), better known by his pen name Lin Xi (Chinese: 林夕; Jyutping: Lam4 Zik6), is a Hong Kong lyricist and writer. A prominent figure in Cantopop and Mandopop, he has written lyrics for nearly all major Hong Kong singers, with notable collaborations with Leslie Cheung, Faye Wong, Eason Chan, and Miriam Yeung. From 1995 to 2003, he won the Lyricist of the Year award at the Ultimate Song Chart Awards for nine consecutive years, making him the lyricist with the longest winning streak for this accolade. He went on to win the same award again for four consecutive years from 2006 to 2009. He also won the Golden Melody Award for Best Lyricist twice in 1999 and 2010. In 2009, he was honored with the Golden Needle Award, the highest distinction in the Hong Kong music industry.

After attending a rally against Hong Kong's moral and national education plan in 2012, Leung became active in social movements. Since 2017, he has been blacklisted in mainland China for his support for the democracy movement in Hong Kong.
