Kwan Sau Mei (born March 11, 1966) is a former actress from Hong Kong. Before entering the entertainment industry, she worked as a dance instructor.
Background
Kwan grew up in Sau Mau Ping Estate, Kowloon. Her mother was a vegetable vendor. She studied at the Hong Kong In-Service Teachers Training Class Alumni Association School, Hip Wo College (Form 3), and another secondary school. After graduation, she worked as a health dance instructor.[1]
In 1987, she participated in the Miss Hong Kong Pageant but did not make it to the top twelve finalists nor win any awards. She later signed a management contract with Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB).[2] She renewed her contract in 1990 and left the company when her contract expired in 1993.[3]
During that period, she acted in several television dramas and joined "Enjoy Yourself Tonight" for three months.[4] Despite having a number of roles, her career did not flourish. After her TVB contract ended, she joined the company D&B Films and shifted her focus to the film industry, later signing with China Entertainment Company.
In 1995, Kwan temporarily withdrew from the entertainment scene but returned in 1997. In 2002, she was involved in a drunk driving incident that led to a collision with the vehicle of pianist Li Yundi's manager, Wong Chi Wai. She attempted to let her boyfriend, Wong Chi Chung, take the blame. Both were later convicted of perverting the course of justice and were sentenced to 14 days in detention.[5]
She retired from the entertainment industry after 2005. According to Hong Kong 01, Kwan revealed that she had divorced.
