Short Biography
A native of Ningbo in Zhejiang province, Shanghai born Chiang Hsing Lung is a pioneer of Hong Kong film in many respects where he was groomed by the legendary Nanyang Film studio's chief executive Wang Sun-Fu in the techniques of film editing, cutting & print development for prestige Mandarin dialect films shortly after arriving in the island colony in 1948. After his junior apprenticeship, Chiang left Nanyang to join Shaw Brothers in 1956 where he notably applied his craft first working with director Li Han Hsiang in 'Daiu Charn' in 1958 where Chiang brought home an editing award at the 5th annual Asian Film Festival, the first Hong Kong based editor to ever hold the distinction. He would repeat these honors for director Li again the following year bringing home his second editing award for 'The Kingdom and the Beauty'. These early milestones would earn Chiang his career-long tenure with the Shaw Organization editing literally hundreds of titles and mentoring a whole new generation of up-and-coming editors who would take the craft to new heights into the Cantonese dialect dominated cinema of the Hong Kong New Wave.
