He spent his early years at his grandmother's home in North Point, later moving to Tsuen Wan, Kwai Chung, Kwun Tong and Yuen Long. He is the eldest of four siblings with two younger brothers and one younger sister. His biological father separated from his mother at birth and they never met. His mother passed away when he was 14, after which he was sent by Social Welfare Department to Holland Hostel in Kwun Tong. As a child he worked selling dim sum and serving dishes at a Chinese restaurant in Wan Chai, and also worked in renovation, factory packing, as a truck follower and as an Ocean Park acrobat. From 1983 to 1985 he joined the extra ranks because his girlfriend worked at an extra talent company, acting as prisoners at police stations, then moving to TV stations as a temporary actor. In 1986 he entered ATV's first "TV Mr. Election" and won first runner-up and Mr. Talent, then signed with ATV. In 1987 he signed with Godfrey Chi's film company and acted in "Ghostly Vagabond Thief Beauty". In 1999 he left ATV and went to mainland China. In 2005 he returned to ATV at producer Yeung Siu-hung's invitation to film "Happy Has Reason". In 2009 he attracted attention on the political satire show "Hong Kong Lam" by mocking legislator Leung Kwok-hung. In 2012 he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the 12th Chinese Film Media Awards for "Life Without Principle". He also joined HKTV as a contract artist, becoming the first in Hong Kong to be under exclusive contract with two TV stations simultaneously, with his first work being "The Borderline".
