Yick Yu was a student who attended Degrassi Junior High School from Fall 1987 to June 1989 and later on Degrassi High School from Fall 1989 to June 1991. Yick was a poor young boy who came with his family to live in Canada after his family escaped after the Vietnam War. He wasn't a very happy and confident person at first, but gradually he made good friends and gained more confidence. He was best friends with Arthur Kobalewscuy. He was portrayed by Siluck Saysanasy.
Yick was a student at Degrassi from grade 7 to grade 10. He was best friends
with Arthur Kobalewsky. He believed that Mr. Raditch was prejudiced against him, but he soon found out that he had no issue with him. He had an issue with Arthur being rich when they were in their grade 8 year. He wanted to go out with Melanie Brodie, but she wanted to go out with Archie Simpson instead. Their friendship ended when Yick discovered Melanie had lied to him and gone to the 'boy' movie rather than a 'girl' movie.
Degrassi High (Season 4-5)
In high school, he begun to occasionally skip classes and he began smoking cigarettes and hanging out a lot with Luke Matthews, and was getting more involved into playing school sports. His friendship with Arthur at first was becoming somewhat distant and detached, and he began hanging out a lot more with people he knew on the sports teams such as Alex Yankou. He eventually became acquainted with Arthur again in the episode All in a Good Cause when he and Arthur decided to go through with a daring bet to be dared to go and to cover Mr. Raditch's house with toilet paper to raise money from other students to win the class UNICEF contest, though they were both caught by Mr. Raditch to clean up the next day. He and Arthur became best friends again in The All Nighter when they had decided to play a poker game at Luke Matthews' house all night long with Joey Jeremiah, Arthur and Luke. That night during their game Yick revealed that he had a slight attraction for Maya Goldberg and thought that she was pretty and has a very nice look. He was fully unaware that at Diana Economopoulos' overnight birthday slumber party that Maya was also revealing that she had some feeling for him too, both of them never knew or found out how they felt about each other. Tessa Campanelli dumped Alex Yankou to go out with him as well. They stayed together when Degrassi was closed, but broke up during the summer before their grade 11 year.
