Angie Cheong Wei Yee was born in Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia, to parents who ran a fruit farming business. She attended Guang Ming Primary School and Yuh Chai Secondary School in Ipoh. At age thirteen, she participated in a beauty pageant for the first time, and in 1992 won the title of Miss Chinese Ipoh, Malaysia. In 1993, she moved to Hong Kong to represent Malaysia in the Miss Chinese International Pageant, reaching the top twelve, which caught the attention of TVB's talent manager, leading to her signing with the station. She made her acting debut in the series "Happy Valley" (開心華之里) in 1993, followed by supporting roles in "ICAC Investigators 1994" and "New Crime File". Her performance as the Empress in "Justice Bao" (包青天之泣血鳳凰) in 1994 brought her recognition. In 1995, she joined the family sitcom "A Kindred Spirit" (真情), playing two major roles whose episodes achieved record-breaking viewership ratings. She received the "Quality Performing Actress" award from Radio Television Hong Kong in 1998. She also delivered acclaimed performances in series such as "Journey to the West" (西遊記) and "Liao Zhai II" (聊齋 (貳)), and films like "Rape 3 OL Temptation" (強姦3OL誘惑) and "Primitive Weapon" (原始武器), earning her the title "Goddess of Seduction". She briefly left TVB in 1999 for ATV, starring in "My Date with a Vampire II" (我和殭屍有個約會II) and "Studio King" (影城大亨). In 2003, she retired from entertainment after personal struggles, moving to Malaysia and then China to pursue a health food business, during which time she adopted a son from an orphanage in Beijing. She returned to acting in 2009 with series like "A Family Affair" (論盡一家人) and "Love Over" (愛情完了嗎), and in 2013 starred as one of the seven female leads in "Never Dance Alone" (女人俱樂部) produced by Eric Tsang.
