Biography

Yeung Yee Yee is a Hong Kong supporting actress who works as a freelance film and television actress, primarily appearing in TVB television series. She was born in Guangzhou in 1940, and her father was the famous Cantonese opera playwright Yang Zijing. In her youth, she and her sister were placed under the mentorship of Hung Sin-nung and learned acting from her, but her father opposed her entering the entertainment industry, so she focused on her studies and worked as a primary school teacher on the mainland. She married in 1961 and gave birth to two daughters in 1963 and 1965. She later divorced her husband due to his affair with another woman but remarried him after that woman left and had two more daughters. She finally moved to Hong Kong in 1980 and worked as a registered nurse and later as a private caregiver until retiring at age sixty. After retirement, her fellow actor friends Xia Yu, Lo Hoi-pung, and Lai Suen suggested she audition for TVB. She successfully demonstrated expressions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness on her first attempt and has been working with TVB as a freelance actress ever since.
