description: "Albert Leung Wai Man, better known by his pen name Lin Xi, is a Hong Kong and Taiwanese lyricist and writer. A prominent figure in Cantopop and Mandopop, he has written lyrics for nearly all major Hong Kong singers, with notable collaborations with Leslie Cheung, Faye Wong, Anthony Wong, Eason Chan, and Miriam Yeung. His lyrics are known for their poetic style, psychological depth, and social commentary. From 1995 to 2003, he won the Lyricist of the Year award at the Ultimate Song Chart Awards for nine consecutive years, making him the lyricist with the longest winning streak for this accolade. He went on to win the same award again for four consecutive years from 2006 to 2009. He also won the Golden Melody Award for Best Lyricist twice in 1999 and 2010. In 2009, he was honored with the Golden Needle Award, the highest distinction in the Hong Kong music industry."
