Li Pi-Hua ({{zh|t=李碧華|s=李碧华|sl=Lee3Pik1Wah4}}; born 1959 as 李白 Li Pak), also known as Lilian Lee, Lillian Lee[1] and Lee Pik-wah, is a Hong Kong novelist, screenwriter and reporter. Lee's fictions are known for their traditional Chinese cultural and supernatural elements. Her famous works include Rouge, Farewell My Concubine and Green Snake. Her novels and essays have appeared in newspapers in Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong. Lee is one of the best-selling authors in Hong Kong and has published more than forty titles. With the exception of Farewell My Concubine and Kawashima Yoshiko, most of her books have yet to be translated from Chinese into English or made widely available.[1] Lee has co-written several screenplays, such as Rouge, Farewell My Concubine and Green Snake. BiographyFamily and early lifeLee's ancestral homeland is Taishan, Guangdong Province, China. She was born Li Bai (李白) to a rich and big family in Hong Kong. Her wealthy paternal grandfather had four wives and passed the family business of traditional Chinese medicine to her father. She was brought up in a big old house and heard many stories which would later become her source of inspiration.[2] Education and occupationSince young, Lee has developed a strong passion for literature. As a student of True Light Middle School of Hong Kong, she actively contributed to Happy Family and Chinese Student Weekly (中國學生周報). She once studied at Kyoto University, Japan, and has had various jobs. She was a primary school teacher while working as a reporter. Lee is widely known as a screenwriter for TV series, movie and dramas. At a young age, she learned Traditional Chinese Dance for about ten years. Lee has danced for a dance company in New York. With her rich experience in dancing, Lee helped organize several dance dramas for the Hong Kong Dance Company. In 2001, Lee directed a dance drama adapted from her novel Fen Mo Chun Qiu (粉墨春秋), performed by Hua Jin Dance Company. In 2013, she worked with the National Theatre Company of China and adapted her novel Green Snake into a dance drama. PersonalityLee is a well-know writer in Hong Kong, but she has never appeared in public. Although her fans are curious about her appearance, Lee refused to publish anything with or about her appearance, family background and experience. Lee once explained, "Stop being curious about my appearance. I have such an ordinary appearance that I cannot be easily recognised in the masses. It is not worth discussing. To me, keeping a proper distance from the people and things is a good thing. I do not care much about my influence or how many readers I have, so that I would not treat myself as a guiding light in the world of darkness. Then I can write freely."[3] Lee likes to read The Art of War (by Sun Tzu), Song poetry, gossip magazines, dictionaries and her passbook. For her, happiness and freedom are the most important things in her life.[4] Literary styleLee is known for her novels depicting the romantic relationships and tensions between men and women. She stated that her love stories were inspired by her experience. Meanwhile, she often adapts ancient legends in her works. Her work Green Snake was based on White Snake, an ancient Chinese novel in which two snakes become humans and learn about love and suffering.[5] In White Snake, Green Snake is a supporting character; but in Green Snake, the emotional and beautiful Green Snake is the main character in love with Xu Xian. Lee's love fictions are both sad and romantic, some of which include supernatural elements: the blue angel Fleur works in one of Hong Kong's "flower houses" and comes back to life for her lover Chan Chen-Pang;[6] the immortal Terracotta Warrior Mong Tiang Fong wakes up after 2000 years;[7] and Golden Lotus in The Reincarnation of Golden Lotus is a spirit. Lee believes that good writers have to express their emotions if they are to impress the others.[8] She insists on writing for freedom and happiness instead of fame. Apart from fictions, she adapted some of her works into screenplays for both the educated and the less educated audience. Novels
