Background
Background
Chung participated in the 1979 Miss Hong Kong competition and came in 3rd runner-up. She was later discovered by film director Johnnie To and debuted in his first film The Enigmatic Case (1980). Her beauty and charm led her to become one of the top actresses in Hong Kong at the time. In her film career, one of her most famous performances was in Mabel Cheung's An Autumn's Tale (1987), where she portrayed Jennifer, an educated middle-class woman who falls in love with a rude and uneducated man played by Chow Yun-fat. She is known as the "Marilyn Monroe of Hong Kong" and the Chinese entertainment industry due to her beauty. Chung retired from acting in the 1990s. Her last film was John Woo's Once a Thief (1991). She married advertising executive Michael Chu Ka-ting in 1991. Chu died of cancer in August 2007. She is also very active in promoting environmental protection as a supporter of Friend of the Earth (HK) since the early 1990s.
