Born in 1927 as Siu Ling, Siu Sang began as a cinema usher and ticket-tearer before joining the film industry in the 1950s as a continuity man, assistant director and writer. Moving into television in the early 1970s, he produced long-form martial-arts serials at RTV — including The Legend of the Book and the Sword and Reincarnated — then worked at Commercial Television and, from 1981, at TVB, where his adaptations of Jin Yong's The Return of the Condor Heroes and Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils became landmarks and drew ratings in the sixties. He returned to ATV in 1992 and left in 1998. He died of liver cancer on 27 November 2004.
