Yuen Yiu-ching, 34, is no stranger to controversial news. Since joining the print media in 1992, he has been editor of both Next Magazine and Eastweek, and was editor-in-chief of the Mad Dog Daily before joining the new Surprise Weekly, as chief editor. His boss, publisher Leung Tin-wai, was attacked last week by two chopper-wielding men.
Mr Yuen is unmarried and lives with his father.
What's on your mind? All my thoughts are with Mr Leung. We're going to visit him in hospital.
I feel very sad and angry about the attack. I can't believe that in such a civilised society people can perform such barbaric acts.
Do you fear for your safety? If I said I wasn't worried I'd be lying. But there's not much I can do about it. You really have to like this job to be doing it - and I like being a journalist because it exposes the darker side of life.
How did your family react? My family has always been worried for me - I was in Beijing during the June 4 crackdown and I have been working in publications like Next Magazine and Mad Dog Daily which are quite controversial.
