Biography
Wong Yu-Sze was born in Hong Kong, the youngest daughter of lyricist James Wong Jim and former singer Wah Wah. Her extended family includes her cousin-in-law actor Dominic Lam, cousin actress Sze Ming, and nephews Edward Lee and Charles Lee, who are also in the entertainment industry. While Wah Wah was pregnant with Wong Yu-Sze, James Wong was involved in an extramarital affair with writer Lin Yanni. Despite being pregnant, Wah Wah insisted on divorce, so Wong was raised in a single-parent household.
She studied at St. Teresa’s English School in Kowloon and moved to Canada with her mother at the age of 13. She graduated from the University of British Columbia with a major in Asian Studies and a minor in Drama. In 1998, she returned to Hong Kong and was introduced by actress Liza Wang to work on a mainland Chinese TV series *The Legendary Swordsman and the Fairy* (also titled *Legend of the Water Moon* in Mainland China), which aired on China’s Star Chinese Channel in 2005. Upon returning to Hong Kong, she joined TVB as a host through the recommendation of producer Tommy Chan Ka-Lun. She occasionally acted in TV dramas and was notably recognized for her role in *Perpetual Happiness*.
Wong has also performed in stage plays, including: - *The Girl from 1941* (2000) by Actors' Family - *Romance of Fragrant Harbour* (2005) by Spring-Time Stage - *Mind’s Eye* (2007) by Perry Chiu Experimental Theatre - *The Family Squad* (2008) by Hong Kong Repertory Theatre
Her most well-known performance in recent years was *The Sound of Music* (2009–2010), directed by Ko Chi-Sum.[1][2]
During *Mind’s Eye*, she performed publicly in lingerie for the first time, showing her willingness to explore different facets of performance. In 2012, she guest-hosted the cultural TV program *Starlight Walk* on Asia Television, partnering with Ko Chi-Sum to introduce Hong Kong’s Cantonese film culture from the 1950s to 70s.<ref>[1]
