Background
Lo was born at Kwong Wah Hospital in Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon. She graduated from Rosaryhill School (Primary Division) in 1981 and attended Belilios Public School. [3]At age 15 and a half, she made her debut in the 1984 Cinema City film *Happy Ghost* while still attending Belilios. She later left Cinema City, joined Capital Artists to record Cantonese songs, and acted in TVB dramas. From 1988 to 1993, she studied abroad in Canada, and by the 1990s had faded from the entertainment scene, appearing only occasionally at dances. She later claimed to have exited showbiz and worked in finance.
She once served as Executive Director of the now-delisted listed company "Rojam Entertainment Holdings" and was also a director of its subsidiaries "Yat Wai Investment Ltd", "Fufang International Holdings", "Wing Tak Fook Co., Ltd", and "Rojam Finance Ltd". In 2016, she co-founded "Primal Culture Ltd." with friends.
In 2016, [4]Lo planned to return to entertainment through web dramas and new recordings, actively losing weight. However, she reportedly suffered sudden cardiac arrest due to excessive dieting and died on May 27, 2016, after vomiting and collapsing at 2 AM.[5][6]
In July 2016, Venetian Macau Ltd filed a lawsuit in the District Court seeking HK$940,000 from Lo’s estate, citing a credit agreement signed in February that year. She withdrew over HK$900,000 in early May but failed to repay the loan.
