Xi Xi

Xi Xi (; 7 October 1937 – 18 December 2022) was the pseudonym of the Hong Kong author and poet Ellen Cheung Yin (). She was born in Shanghai, and moved to Hong Kong at the age of twelve. She was formerly a teacher and had been a Hong Kong–based writer. Her works are also popular in Taiwan and mainland China. She had become a rather well-known figure to many secondary school students in Hong Kong. This was due in particular to one of her essays, "Shops" (店鋪), which was adopted as reading material for the Chinese Language paper in the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination (HKCEE) by the Hong Kong Examinations Authority of the time. In 2019, Xi Xi was the recipient of the Newman Prize for Chinese Literature. In the Cantonese dub of the South Park episode, Weight Gain 4000, Kathy Lee Gifford is dubbed as Xi Xi.
