Li Tianxiang
Li Tin‐Cheung (born Li Chi‐Wai; 11 October 1976) is a Hong Kong actor and presenter. He was a TVB artist from 1995 until 2019.[1]
Early life
Li grew up in Ho Man Tin, Kowloon. He attended SKH St. Timothy’s Primary School (graduated 1988) and All Saints’ Secondary School (Form 5, graduated 1993). While awaiting Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination results, he briefly worked as a salesman at Hutchison Telecom and at an arcade in Whampoa. He developed an interest in acting after seeing a TVB Artists Training Course poster and joined ATV’s children’s programme “500 Flying Tiger Squad” before entering TVB’s training class.
In 1995 he adopted the stage name Li Tin‐Cheung and completed the 8th TVB Artiste Training Class. His first appearance was in Andy Lau’s music special. He then hosted children’s shows “Lightning Fax” (as the “Literacy Special Constable No. 999”) and “Net Kids”. He moved into dramas in 2003, debuting in “Hero‧Blade‧Youth”.
Career
Li often played villains—rapists, killers—which showcased his intense performances and sharp gaze. Signature roles include Yan Heung‐Wing in “Detective Investigation File” (2008) and Zhang Chun‐Wing in “A Romance of Stone and Gold” (2008). In the 2010s he diversified into heroic and leading roles such as Lo Yat in “My Beloved Wolf King” (2011).
In 2016 Li became a full TVB contracted actor. After leaving TVB in 2019, his final TVB drama was “The Fixer”. He then joined ViuTV and starred in “Beyond the Light” and “Soul Guide” (2022), marking his first leading role on ViuTV.
Personal life
Li dated model Li Si‐Pui for four years. In early 2010s he helped run her Thai massage parlour while continuing his acting career. In 2017 he married long‐term partner Bobo Tam. They wed on 10 October 2017 in Hong Kong and held a ceremony in Okinawa on 29 October 2017.[2]
