Sherry Chen, also known as Chen Shuang (; born June 21, 1983, in Harbin), is a Chinese-Canadian actress currently working in Hong Kong. She secured the title of Miss Chinese Toronto Pageant in 2006 and achieved the position of Second Runner-Up at the Miss Chinese International Pageant in 2007. Her most recognized performance is as Bak Mai in OL Supreme, a role that received favorable feedback from viewers.[1][2] Limited proficiency in Cantonese often led her to be cast in smaller or supporting parts.
At the height of her career, she decided to suspend her studies with the intention to accumulate savings after realizing that her earnings would not be sufficient to purchase a home in Hong Kong within two years.[3] Her well-maintained physique contributed significantly to her character’s appeal and attracted media attention well into her thirties.[4] Subsequently, she completed her academic qualifications and shifted her career focus to working with an airline company.[5] Her additional professional engagements include hosting Mandarin-language shows, part-time modeling, and managerial duties at Cathay Pacific.
