About
Hsi Hsi/Sai Sai/Xi Xi (Chinese: 西西; Cantonese Yale: sāi sāi; pinyin: Xī Xī, born 7 October 1937 in Shanghai, died 18 December 2022) is the pseudonym of the Chinese author and poet Cheung Yin, "Ellen"/Zhang Yan (Chinese: 張彥; Cantonese Yale: jēung yin; pinyin: Zhāng Yàn). She was born in China and moved to Hong Kong at the age of twelve. She was formerly a teacher and had been a Hong Kong-based writer. Her works are also popular in Taiwan and mainland China. She had become a rather well-known figure to many secondary school students in Hong Kong. This was due in particular to one of her essays, "Shops" (店鋪), which was adopted as reading material for the Chinese Language paper in the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination (HKCEE) by the Hong Kong Examinations Authority of the time. In 2019, Hsi Hsi was the recipient of the Newman Prize for Chinese Literature.
