简介

Lau Cheuk Yan was born in Hong Kong in 1999 and grew up in a middle-class family with parents working in education; her father was a tutor and owner of a tutorial center, while her mother worked as a university administrative manager. She has a younger sister by three years named Lau Cheuk Yin, who is also an academic athlete. Identified as gifted at age seven, she began athletics training at age eight, attended Marymount Primary School and later transferred to Diocesan Girls' School on her coach's recommendation. In Secondary 3 she was selected for the Hong Kong athletics team, specializing in the 400m sprint, and competed in numerous local and international competitions winning awards, including the 14th National Games of the People's Republic of China and a silver medal at the National University Athletics Championships in the 400m. She was also a member of the Hong Kong dragon boat team, representing Hong Kong and winning bronze while competing in world championships. She scored 29/35 in the HKDSE in 2018 but did not meet law school requirements, so she enrolled at the University of Hong Kong, graduating in 2022 with First Class Honours in Arts (Linguistics and History) with minors in Education and Gender Studies. She then completed a Master's in Criminology in 2024. In February 2021 she won "KOL of the Year" at the Greater Bay Area youth training program competition. In March 2021 she accompanied a friend to apply for TVB's artist training course while filming a YouTube video on the topic, but was herself accepted and chose to take a semester leave to try it out, joining TVB as a basic contract artist upon graduation and later becoming a manager-contract artist. Besides acting, Lau works as a private tutor and a Level 1 certified athletics coach recognized by World Athletics and USA Track & Field, and holds multiple professional qualifications including lifeguard and referee certifications. In September 2023 she partnered with Huang Ying Yu on the J2 program "I Want to Stay Awake," winning first place and a HK$100,000 prize after a 60-hour no-sleep competition. In March 2026 her popularity surged after she cross-played the role of a 14-year-old male teenage murderer named Gao Cheng Bin in "The Goddess of Justice," and she planned to enroll in a Postgraduate Diploma in Education in September of the same year.
