considered as one of the most popular young actors of the 1980s, and
along with Tony Leung, Andy Lau, Felix Wong and Kent Tong, he was the
eldest tiger of TVB's Five Tigers. Miu's trade mark role was as the
dashing and suave wuxia Knight-errant, though he is perhaps best known

Condor Heroes.Born in Zhoushan, Zhejiang in 1958, Miu and his mother

Academy in September 1979. While still in training, he made cameo
appearances in several major dramas, such as the 1980 The Bund. Miu's

from the Academy, Miu was offered a major role in the 1981 thriller
drama The Lonely Hunter, starring alongside his classmate Felix Wong
with seniors Carol Cheng and Money Chan.From 1981 to 1986, Miu
