Master For All Seasons

Lam Ching Ying 林正英

Thank you for visiting this site, dedicated to

the Chinese Martial Artist, Actor, Action Director, Director

 Lam Ching Ying!
 

I tender my thanks to him for all the beautiful moments, for the pleasure he gives me through his acting. I also wanted to pay tribute to his short, but rich, sincere and unique life.

In acknowledgement I create this page.

I put all my heart into this piece of work. If you know Ching Ying's life and his work, it will recall nice memories, and if you don't, it will inspire you to get to know his heritage. Please, take a look round and visit back once in a while for uptades!

Important news!

The Forum is BACK!

Please, join our lovely community of Lam Ching Ying Fans.

The original site disappeared last Autumn due to a host crash.

It took a while to restart it, but it is back!

YOU ARE WELCOME! 

Managed to start a tribute You Tube Channel and a My Space site.

 

I started to upload The Vampire Expert outtakes and bloopers. They are not in a perfect quality but worth watching it.

You are welcome as a friend on My Space! Lets find Lam Ching Ying Fans from all around the world.

Dear Ah Ying!

I strongly believe that in one way or another you are able to see this site, which is dedicated to you.

This is my tribute to you as a man and as an artist. I have never seen anyone so gifted not only with unique acting ability, but spiritually as well. You had wisdom and dignity you preserved in life and in death.

It's nearly ten years you left this world, but your art made you undying. Please accept these pages I create with great respect. I'll do my best to make this site as complete, orderly and elegant as your personality was in your whole life.

Your intention was to entertain and enchant us with your inimitable style, with your gentle humour and last but not least with your martial arts talent. You never thought about yourself, not even when you should have had to do, you hated attention around you, to burden others with your troubles, you lived your life silently. I feel this is the least I can do to tell how special and unrepeatable you were.

God bless you for all those years (oh, how short they were) you shared with us!

Wherever you are, don't forget you are remembered, honoured, adored and painfully missed forever.
