Graduated from the University of Hong Kong with a degree in Law, John Y. was a lawyer who later obtained his two Masters of Law from the University of London and Beijing University respectively. After spending over 20 years working for the Hong Kong offices of a few international law firms, John became a Litigation Partner of a renowned U.S. law firm in Hong Kong in 2013 and specialized in commercial litigation work. In 2015, John decided to leave the legal profession to pursue his long-dreamed career in acting and film production. In 2016, he produced and acted in two short films, “My Dear Banquet” and “The Unknown Mother”, with the unconditional love of a mother to her child as the main theme. Both shorts were aimed to praise motherly love and convey the message of cherishing the family to film viewers. John made his feature film acting debut in “Million Loves in Me”. Although this is his first time taking up the lead in a feature film, his performance in the film is highly appraised by a number of movie critics and audience who commented that “his acting is very truthful and convincing” and “it is one of the very rare cases that a male actor brilliantly played the female role”. “Million Loves in Me” earned John a number of Best Actor awards from film festivals worldwide. John has also been awarded with Best Film Awards as producer to the film and a number of Best Screenplay Writer awards. These awards and recognitions have given John tremendous push and encouragement to excel in future feature film writing, production and acting. With the aim to become an all-round filmmaker, John will also pursue his directorial debut in the near future. In real life, John enjoys movies of different genres, especially those that could reflect the current situations and issues of society, like “Thelma & Louise” and “Lorenzo’s Oil” from Hollywood. These movies have inspired and shaped his style of filmmaking. John applauds the outstanding acting of the famous English actor Daniel Day Lewis, and admires Marion Cotillard for her performance in the movie “La Vie en rose”. Like many newcomers to the film industry, John will strive to participate in big international film productions and to perform alongside renowned actors as his ultimate career goals.
