Stephen Chow Sing-Chi, Hong Kong actor

Stephen Chow Sing-Chi (周星驰) is a famous Hong Kong actor, comedian, screenwriter, film director and producer. He was elected a member of the Guangdong provincial CPPCC on Jan. 14, 2013.

Born in Hong Kong on June 22, 1962, Chow is the second of four children. He temporarily worked as an actor for Asia Television Limited (ATV) in 1981 after graduating from high school. At that same time, he was taking a TVB artist training class from which he graduated in 1983. He had several "walk-on" parts for the company during the four years that ensued, before he found success as host of the children's program "430 Space Shuttle."

In 1988, Chow became well known through the film "Final Justice" which won him the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 25th Taiwan Golden Horse Awards. His acting career had since entered a major period during which he starred in many films. In 1994 Chow began directing films, starting with "From Beijing with Love." In 1995, with "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Cinderella," he received the award for Best Actor of the year by the Hong Kong Critics' Society. In 2002, with "Shaolin Soccer," he was awarded both Best Director and Best Actor of the year at the Hong Kong Film Awards.

Chow's hilarious way of acting has created a unique type of "non-sensible humor" which has become typical of Chinese culture as well. He has been designated the title "King of Comedy" in Hong Kong. Blockbusters such as "All for the Winner" and "Fight Back to School," in both of which he starred, all became box office record breakers, making the comedies the biggest hit movies on the Chinese mainland.

The following are Chow's main cinematic achievements from 1988 to 2013.
