His pen names he has used include: Wesley, Sha Weng, Yue Chuan, Wei Li, Yi Qi, Hong Xin, and Wei Long.  Literature Bar wxba Ni Kuang believes in Christianity. He was born in Shanghai, China, and his ancestral home is Zhenhai, Zhejiang.

    He fled to Hong Kong in 1957, moved to San Francisco in the United States in 1992, and returned to Hong Kong in 2007.  He is a well-known science fiction writer and screenwriter, and is regarded as one of the four great talents in Hong Kong. Ni Kuang has a wide range of writing, including weird novels and a small number of martial arts novels.

    Works include "Wesley Series", "Yuan Zhenxia Series", "Black Lady Mulan Series", etc.  In addition, Ni Kuang has also written more than 300 film scripts.  In addition, from 1989 to 1990, he co-hosted the Asian Television talk show "Undefended Tonight" with Huang Zhan and Chua Lam.

    In 1951, 16-year-old Ni Kuang dropped out of school and left home in order to pursue his utopian ideals. He went north alone to enter the East China People's Revolutionary University for three months of training. He then joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army and the public security police, participated in land reform and the project to regulate the Huaihe River, and later  Went to Inner Mongolia to reclaim wasteland.

    While serving in the army, he gradually realized that the various unreasonable behaviors of the Communist Party were completely different from the egalitarian world advertised. There were many privileged classes running amok within the army, and they had to report their thoughts and hold meetings to review everything, no matter how big or small.  This made the freedom-loving Ni Kuang increasingly dissatisfied and disappointed, and often argued with his superiors.

    At the end of 1956, Ni Kuang was working in Inner Mongolia to reclaim wasteland. On the way to transport coal during a snowstorm, he and several other soldiers dismantled a wooden bridge to light a fire to keep warm. As a result, the unit secretary accused him of disrupting traffic and was labeled as a counter-revolutionary, and he was placed under house arrest for several days.  months.

    in addition.  The wolfdog he secretly raised bitten the captain of the army. These two crimes were enough to sentence him to 10 years in prison. So he listened to his friends' advice and rode north overnight to escape. He originally wanted to take refuge in Outer Mongolia, but he accidentally hit it.  Railway Station, so he took a train bound for the south to Dalian, and then took a boat to Shanghai, but no one dared to receive him at that time.  He had no choice but to continue fleeing south, going through hardships and eating rats, ants, and cotton many times to satisfy his hunger. He walked for three months to reach Guangzhou, and used his seal-engraving skills to evade customs defenses on the way.  He successfully escaped from the mainland, then passed through Macau and successfully smuggled into Hong Kong in July 1957.

    Ni Kuang immigrated to San Francisco in the United States in 1992. He said that he was afraid of taking back Hong Kong due to political worries. After being away from Hong Kong for 14 years, he said that he could not bear the dull life there.  He returned to Hong Kong, which he considered his hometown.

    Ni Kuang¡¯s political orientation and writing thinking are closely related to his experiences in mainland China when he was young.  He said: When he was a child, his family was very poor, with many brothers and sisters (two brothers, two brothers, one sister, and one sister), and there was no entertainment.  The greatest pleasure is reading books. He had read several famous Chinese novels before he was twelve years old. His favorite book at that time was "Mencius".  After entering middle school, he loved reading translated novels. Ni Kuang believed that the human brain is the same as a computer.  They all need to input a lot of materials before they can work. I believe that the absorption from books in his childhood became a resource for his future writing.

    Ni Kuang worked as a handyman in a factory when he first arrived in Hong Kong, and studied at a college at night. Later, he submitted his articles to "True Daily" and "Business Daily". Not only was he accepted, he was also hired by "True Daily" and served as a proofreader, assistant editor, reporter and  Political columnist.

His early works include the female villain Mulan, The Story of the Prodigal Gundam, The Story of Goofy by the Immortal Hand, and The Six-Fingered Piano Demon.

    In 1962, he began to write science fiction novels under the pen name Wesley, which were serialized in the supplement of "Ming Pao". More than 140 novels in the "Wesley" series have been published.

    He said that except for lyrics and advertising slogans, he has written in all genres.  Including novels (martial arts, mystery, science fiction, fantasy, romance, pornography), essays, essays, columns, political commentaries, and movie scripts.  When writing by myself, I like to play tricks and change themes the most, and I dislike repeating myself the most.  He also revealed that at the peak of that year, the royalties plus royalties exceeded 2 million Hong Kong dollars a year.

    Ni Kuang, who is over seventy years old and once wrote 10,000 words a day, admitted that he has passed the peak period of writing. It¡¯s not that he doesn¡¯t want to write, but that he can¡¯t write because his quota has been exhausted (the word quota comes from the work ¡°Settlement of Accounts¡±).

    Writing made Ni Kuang famous and successful, and he was once high-spirited and addicted to wine, sex and wealth. After embracing Christianity in 1986, he gradually got rid of all kinds of bad habits in life.  In 2011, he joined the Hong Kong Novel Society and became the honorary president.

    In the late 1960s, with the rise of martial arts films in Hong Kong, Ni Kuang turned to script writing.  In more than ten years, Ni Kuang has written more than 400 film scripts, and his representative work is "The One-Armed Sword" directed by Zhang Cheh.  According to his own account, at his peak, he wrote 20,000 words a day, and twelve newspapers published his work.

    Written by Ni KuangFour to five hundred scripts were produced, of which 300 films were made.  He said that his creative ability was amazing at that time; he could write a script in three or four days, and he was also writing seven or eight serial novels at the same time.  For example, the script of the Hong Kong movie "Fist of Fury" released in 1972, including the fictional protagonist Chen Zhen and classic scenes in the play, was also written by Ni Kuang.

    In April 2012, Ni Kuang won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 31st Hong Kong Film Awards.

    Ni Kuang said that he never concealed the position of the Communist Party. In September 2009, he was interviewed in the first episode of Radio Hong Kong's program "Wei Wei Yu". When talking about the reasons for the revolution, he believed that one-party dictatorship would not work, with unlimited expansion of power and no supervision.  Power inevitably corrupts.

    In the program, he also believed that the current country is a bureaucratic capitalist country, and enterprises are in the hands of the government. He said that bureaucratic capitalism is the most ruthless capitalism, and they will not sympathize with the people.

    He also said that I would rather be in the ** era, and also said that the original intention of letting some people get rich first should be that those who are partially rich should also take care of those who are not rich, and it cannot be that the rich people double the oppression of the poor.

    When asked about some people saying that a country must have economic development before it can talk about democracy; Ni Kuang said that China is different. He said that after the formation of the middle class in China, the wealthy class did not demand political democracy. Instead, they surrendered more to totalitarianism in the hope of getting more benefits.

    On September 15, 2006, at a symposium, Ni Kuang also said that he had personally experienced many perverse things done by the Communist Party. The most terrifying thing about the Communist Party is that it wants to control other people¡¯s thoughts and wills. In the Communist Party¡¯s system, people can only  It will turn into a completely obedient machine, which is very scary.

    When he moved to the United States in 1992, he was afraid that China would take back Hong Kong. At that time, he said that he would not come back until the Communist Party was dead.  He also said that he broke his promise and came back now because his wife could not adapt to life in the United States, so he had nothing to do. He said: I won't be insured for the rest of the year!  The love between sons and daughters must be short-lived for heroes.

    Ni Kuang¡¯s sister Yi Shu is a writer of literary novels.  Ni Kuang's son Ni Zhen was a former radio host. He registered his marriage with Hong Kong actress Zhou Huimin in December 2008.

    Ni Kuang likes to collect shells. He claims that his knowledge of shells has reached the level of an expert and he can classify each shell.  During the collection period from 1963 to 1979, more than 6,000 kinds of shells were collected and the Hong Kong Shellfish Association was founded. At that time, foreign shellfish collectors visited Hong Kong and took the Ni Kuang collection as their first target; Zeng and the British man Lake Rudd who lived in Hong Kong  Co-author of the book "Hong Kong's Treasures and Cones".  In the ten-year sleep of Jibei Meng, an article recounts the whole experience of Jibei.

    Ni Kuang once revealed in a newspaper column that he also bought Hong Kong antennas before the Hong Kong stock market crash in 1973, and lost a lot of hard-earned money.

    Ni Kuang also helped Jin Yong write some chapters of the martial arts novel "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" that was serialized in newspapers.
