Poetic Obituaries: [Liang Yusheng's] writing career started

at Sin Wan Bao, which asked him to pen a kung fu series in 1954, capitalizing on a martial arts fever in Hong Kong sparked by a public duel between two rival fighting styles. Liang went on to write 36 novels over a three-decade career before retiring in Sydney.

Liang's work reflected his knowledge of Chinese literature and history. He often opened his novels with a poem and included characters interested in literature.
