Stanley Wong Ping Pui (Chinese: 黃炳培), also known as "Another mountain man" (又一山人), is a Hong Kong artist. He created the Red White Blue series, a series of artwork based on the red-white-blue bags which are commonplace in Hong Kong.

During his childhood, Wong lived with his family in a roof extension shed on Canton Road. Their home was badly damaged during Typhoon Wanda in 1962. Wong recalled that he "had no aptitude for rote learning", but developed a talent for photography and design during his teenage years, winning many awards in local competitions.

After completing his Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination, Wong enrolled in the design and technology course of Hong Kong Technical Teachers' College (now part of Hong Kong Institute of Education). He also took design classes in the Hong Kong Polytechnic, but was expelled when the school discovered that he was already employed as a designer when he enrolled in the design programme. He graduated from Hong Kong Technical Teachers' College in 1980.

After his graduation, he worked in graphic design and advertising. In 1990, he became well known for an advertisement series which he created for the MTR. In 1996, he relocated to Singapore and became the first Chinese national to take the position of Asia creative director at Bartle Bogle Hegarty. He left the position and returned to Hong Kong in 1999 to become the CEO of TBWA Hong Kong. He established 84000communications in 2007.

Wong adopted the pseudonym "Another Mountain Man" (又一山人), a tribute to 17th-century Chinese artist Bada Shanren (八大山人). He used the pseudonym for artwork that had "less of a commercial flavour". One of his early works under this pseudonym was a publicity poster for the 1994 film Chungking Express by Wong Kar-wai.
