Tin Hong majored in psychology and economics in the University of Hong Kong. When he was 19, he started his writing career under SCMP Book Publishing. He made his debut with When Sagittarius meets Aries(æÂÂä¸Âç½ç¾ÂçÂÂå¼Âç®Â) in 2000, which was later adopted into drama by the Live Theatre in 2013. Later Tin Hong published other popular romance novels including The Death of a Bookworm(æÂ¸è²çÂÂå°Âå¹´æÂÂ代) and the Sheep in Wolf's Clothing(æÂ«ä¸Âç¼ç®çÂÂç¾Âå©å©), while the latter was also dramatised in 2014. In 2004, he set up his own publishing house. He moved to Taipei in 2010, and then married to a Taiwanese designer.
Tin Hong's books are well received by the teenage audience. His books are mostly of fantasy and romance, usually touching upon historical issues and exploring injustice in the society. Greatly influenced by Yu HuaâÂÂs To Live, Tin Hong's books reflect on the connections between individuals and history. Ni Kuang spoke highly of Tin Hong's D Series as he finds the topic unique and interesting, covering romance, joy and sorrows, and global issues.
He was the Best Selling Local Male Author of the Year in 2005, 2006, 2011, and 2012. Tin Hong also got his The Last Will of Emperor Qin (秦å§ÂçÂÂæÂÂæÂÂæÂÂçÂÂéºè¨Â) ranked first on Commercial Press Bestsellers of 2012. His The Death of a Bookworm (æÂ¸è²çÂÂå°Âå¹´æÂÂ代) and Sixty Four Codons (æÂÂå æÂ¯å¦被æÂÂäºÂä¸Âå·´) were on the list of the 15th and 19th Annual Best Books for Secondary School Students.
