Patrick Tse Yin (English: Patrick Tse Yin, August 13, 1936 - July 16, 2026), formerly known as Tse Jiayu, is a Hong Kong actor. Because he was the fourth among eight brothers and sisters in the family, he was nicknamed "Fourth Brother". For this reason, TVB screenwriter Wang Jing tailor-made the role of "Luo Sihai" for him in the TV series "The King of Kings" in 1980, which deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and made the title "Fourth Brother" a household name. Also known as "Laosi" and "Xie Laosi", the older generation calls it by its nickname "A Shen" (because the two characters "Xian" and "Kidney" are similar in shape). In 2022, he won the Best Actor Award at the 40th Hong Kong Film Awards for his performance in "Beyond Dusk", becoming the oldest Best Actor at the time of the award. His children include entertainers Nicholas Tse and Tingting Xie.
