Wang Zhengquan, better known as Jimmy Wang Yu and Wong Yu-lung, (born March 8, 1944 - died April 5, 2022) was a Chinese actor, film director, producer and screenwriter. Wang rose to fame in 1967 with his starring role in The One-Armed Swordsman, a martial arts film produced by the Shaw Brothers Studio.
