Raymond Wong, born in 1946, is a Hong Kong film producer, director, screenwriter and actor who has also written lyrics and composed music; his stage name, adopted on entering the film business, suggests a hundred flowers blooming together. He was born and raised in a tong lau tenement in Sheung Wan and is of Heshan, Guangdong descent, the eldest of six children. He finished school in 1957 and later studied at the night school of St John's College, where he took part in drama. After finishing secondary night school at seventeen he became a junior clerk at an Indian trading firm and by twenty-four was a manager handling compradore business; in the evenings he worked as a broadcaster at a North Point radio station, performing serialised fiction. When the 1967 riots shut the station down, he and friends formed an amateur theatre group that staged public performances at the Hong Kong City Hall. In the 1980s he chaired Cinema City, one of its 'Seven Musketeers', and produced a run of record-breaking hits including the Aces Go Places series, the Happy Ghost films and All's Well, Ends Well. He founded Mandarin Films in the early 1990s and in 2009 set up Pegasus with his son, continuing to make Chinese New Year comedies.
