Charlie Yeung Choi-Nei (born 23 May 1974), is a Hong Kong actress. She was first noticed after appearing in a commercial with Aaron Kwok. Since then she has participated in the music videos of artists such as Hacken Lee and made a number of films, most famously with Tsui Hark (The Lovers, Love in the Time of Twilight, Seven Swords). She retired her career in 1997, but has since returned in 2004 in New Police Story.
Career
In 1992, she was signed on to be a singer with EMI (Hong Kong). After releasing a couple of albums, she made her feature-film debut in Ashes of Time.
In 1994, she made her first collaboration with director Tsui Hark in the film The Lovers (1994 film) 梁祝. Yeung was cast as the female lead, Zhu Yingtai opposite Nicky Wu's Liang Shanbo. Her performance received widespread critical acclaim, rising Yeung to stardom. The film today has been hailed as Yeung's most representative work to date.
However, in 1997 she called it quits and retired from the industry to start an image consultant business with her Singaporean lawyer-boyfriend.
In 2004, after a failed relationship and business, she made her comeback as the actress in New Police Story. Following that, she collaborated once again with Tsui Hark in the martial arts movie Seven Swords. She later co-starred in the film After This Our Exile opposite Aaron Kwok.
Personal life
Yeung met her long-time boyfriend, a Singaporean lawyer Khoo Shao Tze in 1993, but split up in 2004 for a period of time. They reportedly got back together in 2011. Yeung and Khoo were married on 2 November 2013.[1] In early January 2017, she and Khoo announced that they are expecting. On 27 April 2017, Charlie gave birth to twin boys, Ignatius and Aloysius Khoo.[2]
