Cheung Ying (1919–1984), born Cheung Yik-sang in Hong Kong and known as 'Fourteenth Brother' as the fourteenth of his siblings, was a leading young lead of the Cantonese cinema. Educated at Wah Yan College, he gave up plans to study in Japan when his mother fell ill and, through friends in the industry, took part in his first film; the child star Bruce Lee often appeared opposite him. Ranked with Ng Cho-fan, Cheung Wood-yau and Lee Ching as the 'Four Great Young Leads' of Cantonese cinema, he could play hero or villain alike and was nicknamed 'the actor of a thousand faces'; besides romances he played Cheung Chui-shan in the first Jin Yong screen adaptation, The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre, opposite Pak Yin. He starred in more than four hundred films, the most of any Hong Kong male actor, once shooting three films on one street in a single day and forty-seven films in a year. He also directed and worked as a set and props designer.
