José dos Santos Ferreira
José dos Santos Ferreira, better known as Adé (28 July 1919, in Portuguese Macau – 24 March 1993, in Hong Kong), was a son of metropolitan Portugal father and a Macanese mother. He was the last poet of distinction to write in Macanese (Patuá), the Portuguese-Cantonese creole.
Adé lived all his life in Macau and left behind a great body of work consisting of 18 books of poetry, prose, plays, operettas, and radio shows in Patua. Adé wrote, directed, and acted in his own productions.

gollark: How is it "stealing people's jobs" to replace them with a more efficient system?!
gollark: Probably are: see politics, advertising.
gollark: *Someone else* could, though.
gollark: As I said, my main issues with the government are with the legal system, regulatory capture being a horribly common thing, monopolies not really being dealt with well or at all, lack of transparency, and horrible overreach of intelligence agencies.
gollark: (and also society being generally better does help me)
