David Siu Chung-hang (born 24 February 1964) is a Hong Kong actor and businessman. He was best known as a TVB and ATV artist, and for his role as Ting Haai-haai in the 1992 television drama _The Greed of Man_. He briefly left showbiz in the early 2000s and gradually returned from 2012 onward.

Early life

David Siu’s parents divorced when he was eight,^[1] so he was raised by his mother^[2] and grandparents.^[3] He lived in Kwai Chung New Town and in Wan Chai, attending kindergarten in Huizhou, then primary school at St. Margaret’s College and lower secondary at Cheung Ching Lady College. His Chinese and English composition skills were excellent, though he struggled with mathematics. He spent one year in a San Francisco high school (Grade 11), then returned to Hong Kong and completed a four‑year BA in Interior Design at Hong Kong Polytechnic College in 1983. He helped design the Sheung Yiu Folk Museum, Sam Tung Uk Museum and the Hong Kong Railway Museum before co‑founding an advertising design firm. He later earned an MA in Political Science at UC Berkeley.

Career

While working part‑time as a model in 1987, girlfriend Ching Siu‑tsui nominated him for TVB’s Supernova Contest. He won the Best Pair Award with Sandra Ng and then became champion of the Galaxy Ten‑Star Relay. He joined TVB’s 14th Artiste Training Class the same year. His first TV role was in _Ocean Green Book_; he was later cast as the lead in the costume drama _Eagle’s Flight_. He also worked as a film art director and designed stages for Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung concerts.

From 1987 to 1992, he appeared in over twenty TVB dramas, including _Rise and Fall_, _Family Happiness_, _Eagle’s Flight_, _Loyalties_, _The Greed of Man_ (as Ting Haai-haai), _Triumph of Heaven_, _Metropolis_, _Unexpected Heroes_, _Heroes of the Marshes_ and _Mad Detective_. His performance in _The Greed of Man_ remains iconic. In 1993 he became a star in Taiwan after starring in _Heavenly Reunion_.

After 1994, he left TVB amid contract disputes and filmed in Singapore and Taiwan, then signed with ATV for series like _Justice Bao_ and _Waiting for You_. He also co‑starred in Guangdong TV’s _Beggar King_. By the early 2000s, with fewer acting offers, he focused on his off‑road vehicle customization business “RV Warehouse” and hosted automotive radio programs.

In 2012 he returned to TV, co‑starring with Winnie Wong in RTHK’s _World Without Walls III_.

In 2015, TVB re‑aired _The Greed of Man_, renewing interest in his role as Ting Haai-haai. Since then he has appeared in Pang Ho‑cheung’s film _Memories_, RTHK dramas _Below the Lion Rock 2015_, stage shows like _Feng Huo Liao Yuan_, music videos and ViuTV series such as _The Exorcist’s Meter_ and _Single Dad_.
