Tsui Ka Ho (Chinese: 徐家豪;^[1] born 30 September 1980), better known by his pen name Lam Yat-heiy^[2][3] (Chinese: 林日曦) or Roy Tsui, is a Hong Kong lyricist, who has composed over 80 pieces of lyrics since 2007. He is also a writer and the founder of Blackpaper Limited (Chinese: 黑紙有限公司), a local publisher involved in multimedia creation and advertising campaigns. Multiple business and media channels are owned by Tsui under Blackpaper Limited, including Whitepaper Publishing (Chinese: 白卷出版社), periodical magazine Blackpaper (Chinese: 黑紙),^[3][4] satirical weekly magazine 100 Most (Chinese: 100毛)^[3][5] and multimedia platform TVMost (Chinese: 毛記電視).^[6][7]

Tsui is also the author of columns for several papers, including the Mingpao Weekly and the Oriental Daily News.

Tsui was born in Hong Kong and grew up in a public housing estate in Tai Wo Hau with his parents, grandparents, and aunt. He changed schools numerous times due to his poor academic record and conduct. After secondary school, he took a 3-year graphic design course at IVE,^[8] but he later dropped out and did not pursue further higher education.

In 2003, Tsui joined Commercial Radio Hong Kong as a sound editor and later became the coordinator of their online forums. The online forums had been asked to close one day, and Tsui stepped up and told his boss, Winnie Yu, that the forum should not be closed. She called all the upper management at Commercial Radio, and after a meeting with Tsui, the forums were not closed. Tsui let her take a look at some lyrics he had been composing. Yu requested that Tsui compose 10 more sets of lyrics, which changed Tsui's career path from clerk to production staff. He recommended himself to be on the backstage design team for CR1 (FM 88.1–89.5) 電台雷霆881 and CR2 (FM 90.3–92.1) 叱吒903.

Tsui then changed jobs every few months between the ages of 23 and 31.^[9] He was also creative director at Skyhigh Creative Partners.^[9] He quit in 2012, as he doubted his mentorship.^[4]

In 2007, Tsui composed the lyrics to the theme song "Gulugulu" for the movie Tokyo Tower: Mom and Me, and Sometimes Dad. This is considered his first signature piece. The song entered the Ultimate Song Chart in the same year.

In 2009, Tsui founded the creative unit "Black Paper" with Ah Bu and Chan Keung.^[9][10] He then started working on different creative projects, like publishing magazines, directing music videos, and graphic design.

Tsui published the one-page magazine Black Paper in January 2010. His career as a columnist at the Ming Pao Weekly and RoadShow, City Magazine newspapers, Oriental Daily News and Hong Kong Economic Times began in 2011. A year later, he published his first book, Idiot (《白痴》). In March 2013, he published the magazine 100 Most, which reached the break-even point within half a year. Tsui also founded White Paper Publishing in 2013, focusing on publishing popular culture titles including fiction, prose, and picture books. In the same year, he published his second book, Green Veins (《青筋》), and published Black Face (《黑面》) a year later. He later published his first fiction novel, Happy Never After (《快樂有限》), then Excessively Romantic (《肉麻》), and then published Grey Eurasian Collared (《灰鳩》) in 2015. In 2015, Tsui and his team also created the TV website, TVMost.

• Black Paper (2010–)

Black Paper is a magazine criticising the 'normal' society. It is a one-page A5-size magazine with one side of pictures of people and the other side filled with ‘black sentence’. ‘Black sentence’ is a short sentence about the monthly theme. His idea is to make the sentences as short as possible so that people will have the patience to finish reading them. The overall style of the magazine is meant to be humorous and critical.^[11]

• 100 Most (2013–)

100 Most is a lifestyle magazine that was started by Roy Tsui, Bu and Chan Keung in 2013. The magazine is mainly about popular culture in Hong Kong.^[12]

• TV Most (2015–)

Tsui stated that ‘A single sheet of paper could be a magazine, so why must TV be on TV?’. He started the TV website, TVMost.^[13]

In December 2019, Lam Yat-hei held his personal talk show, Sad But True (悲但真), as promised one year ago, which had allowed ticket reservations one year before the performance. There were 13 sessions from 11–22 December, including new-added sessions at MacStadium. All the tickets were sold out on 17 September. In the talk show, he talks about how an incident made him and his friend feel embarrassed when they were with each other. Then he found his friend again during the preparation of this talk show. He initiates mentioning that incident, and his friend is no longer mad at him. Secondly, he thought that he failed to play guitar because his guitar was borrowed by his classmates and he did not return it. Then, he started learning guitar again before the talk show and played guitar during his show to promote his new song, "Little person".

He switched his secondary school five times and decided to drop out of IVE himself. For his career path, he first worked as a clerk, later as a producer, and later as the owner of two magazines and a publisher.

His father thinks that the secondary school Tsui chose for himself does not fit him, he gives a simple criticism of his decision.^[17] He thinks it is alright to challenge authorities with one's own reason. This view is solidified after he reads the book The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind, published in 1895.^[18]

Chan Wai Yee (Chan Wai) is the writer who influenced him most. He started reading extensively in his gap year after his decision to drop out of IVE. The stories written by Chan Wai are like everyday life, which is the reason why Tsui likes her books.^[18] Another artist that he finds interesting is Hsia Yu. There is one particular work Tsui admires, which is her collection of poems, Pink Noise.

Lin Xi is often considered his mentor in his writing of lyrics, though he never admitted it. Tsui first met Lin Xi at a meeting called by Winnie Yu after he submitted his lyrical works to her.^[19]

Winnie Yu also gives him the chance to switch from clerk to production.^[19]
