Ada Choi Siu-fan (Template:Zh; born 17 September 1973) is a Hong Kong actress. She gained recognition with films, such as Hail the Judge (1994) and A Chinese Odyssey Part Two - Cinderella (1995), and rose to prominence with TVB dramas, such as Healing Hands (1998–2000) and Where the Legend Begins (2002). She shifted her career to mainland China in the 2010s, where she found success with Empresses in the Palace (2012).
Career
Choi was born in 1973 in Hong Kong to a Chaoshanese family. Her parents divorced when she was five years old. She speaks Cantonese, Mandarin, Teochew and English. In 1989, at the persuasion of her family, Choi participated in a modeling contest held by TVB at age 15.[2] Two years later, she was a contestant in the 1991 Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant.[3] During the semi-finals she placed first with an overall score of 483. She eventually finished as the second runner-up during the finals.[4] As a result, she signed a contract with TVB and starting taking on acting jobs.[5] She won the TVB Anniversary Award for Best Actress for her performance in Secret of the Heart (1998). Along with Maggie Cheung Ho-yee, Kenix Kwok, Flora Chan and Jessica Hsuan, Choi is known as one of the Top 5 "Fa Dans" (term used for actresses with high popularity) of TVB from the mid-1990s to mid-2000s.
Followed by a stalled career and limited earnings at TVB, Choi shifted her focus to mainland China in the 2010s, where she found success with the costume drama Empresses in the Palace (2012). Since then, she appeared mainly in variety and reality shows, such as Up Idol (2015), Run for Time (2015), My Dearest Ladies (2019) and Viva La Romance (2020).
Personal life
On 12 January 2008, Choi married Chinese actor Max Zhang[6][7] whom she had dated for more than four years. He was her co-star in a number of Zhouyi Media television productions including The Legend of Magic Mirror (2003) and Eight Charts (2005). They have two daughters, Zoe and Chloe, born in 2011 and 2013 respectively.[8][9] In 2019, they announced on social media that they were expecting their third child. [10] They welcomed their son, Joey Zhang Le'er aka Yudan in November 2019.
