Jimmy Wang Yu (1943–2022), born Wang Cheng-chuan in Shanghai to a family from Wuxi, Jiangsu, was an actor, director and screenwriter who died of a stroke in Taipei in April 2022, aged 79. Trained in karate and tai chi in his youth, he joined Shaw Brothers in Hong Kong in 1963 as a martial-arts actor and, championed by director Chang Cheh, shot to fame in The One-Armed Swordsman (1967), becoming the first star of Chang's new wave of martial-arts cinema; before Bruce Lee's rise he was the highest-paid action actor in Hong Kong. In 1971 he moved to Golden Harvest, whose first film for him, The One-Armed Swordsman vs. the Blind Swordsman, led to litigation with Shaw Brothers. He also directed, including the 1969 martial-arts film, and after leaving Golden Harvest in 1975 joined Lo Wei's independent productions. He retired from films in the 1990s to do business in Taiwan, returned in 2011 for Donnie Yen's Wu Xia and that same year founded Taipei's stunt professionals' union with Ko Chun-hsiung, serving as its first chairman. He married the actress Lin Cui in 1969, divorcing in 1975; his daughters include the singer Linda Wong.
