Stephen Wong Cheung Hing** (born September 22, 1978), originally Wong Cheung Hing and also known as Wong Chi‑Ho, is a French–Hong Kong actor, host, and entrepreneur. He was a contracted artiste with TVB from 2005 to 2023.
Early Life
Wong’s parents are ethnic Chinese from Vietnam. He has an elder brother, a younger brother (Wong Cheung Fat), and a younger sister[1]. At age 5 he moved with his family to France. His parents ran a small garment factory serving Cambodian Chinese clients, leaving them little time for childcare; Wong and his brothers faced schoolyard racism while learning French[2]. He attended Lycée Champlain in Sceaux, completing a Bachelor’s in International Marketing, then worked as ground staff at Cathay Pacific.[3] Seeking more excitement, he relocated to Hong Kong in 2004 and joined Orchestra children’s wear chain as Regional Development Officer for Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Beijing.
Entertainment Career
In July 2005, encouraged by colleagues, Wong entered Mr. Hong Kong 2005. He won the “Outstanding Performance Award” but lost the overall title to Cheng Kin‑Lok. TVB offered him a contract and he debuted alongside Niki Gau in *The Trading Floor*, finding the experience refreshing and signing as a contracted artiste. His mixed Eurasian looks led to early casting opportunities, surpassing even the Mr. Hong Kong 2006 winner, Wong Cheung Fat. Within two years, he was nominated for TVB’s 2007 Best Rising Male Artiste award and reached the top four.
Wong has become a frequent actor for producer Yip Tin‑Fai, preferring reliable supporting roles over leads to preserve family time. In July 2018 he believed his birth name was harming his health and changed it to Wong Chi‑Ho, then reverted to Wong Cheung Hing in April 2019. In October 2019 he fractured his right clavicle in a parking lot fall, recovering fully after surgery. In August 2020 he moved to a manager contract.
In August 2023 he announced on social media that he had left TVB, ending an 18‑year partnership.
Business Ventures
During two decades in Paris, Wong opened the French restaurant A La Maison in Tin Hau, featuring dining, bar, and VIP areas with authentic French cuisine. In May 2016, at the inaugural Hong Kong Food Truck Carnival at PMQ, he launched A la maison XXL Seafood & Grill, showcasing his seafood and grill dishes; other celebrity food trucks included Linda Cheng, Andy Lee, and Phoebus Ng. In February 2020 he announced the restaurant’s closure to focus on online sales of abalone, sea cucumber, and premium steaks.
Personal Life
Wong was linked to Miss Hong Kong 2003 first runner‑up Shirley Cho. In August 2012 he registered marriage to a non-industry partner, Peggy, in France; on March 16, 2013 they held a 35‑table banquet at the InterContinental Tsim Sha Tsui, styled in romantic European décor, attended by Chris Wong, Alex Fong, Kristal Tin, Joel Chan, Priscilla Wong, Sheren Tang, and Edwin Siu. Their daughter Paige was born May 10, 2014 (6.3 lb) via Caesarean in Hong Kong Sanatorium; son Tristan was born May 17, 2016. They now have one daughter and two sons.
