Tsang, who celebrates her 47th birthday today, is known for being a versatile television host, Mandopop singer, actress and author.
While studying at National Taiwan University, Tsang worked part-time as an assistant producer at Zhen Yan She, a subsidiary company of Rock Records – a record label based in Taipei.
After graduating in 1995, she returned to Hong Kong, where her father – who has been vocal in his support of the Hong Kong police force – refused to introduce her to his professional contacts as he did not want her to enter the entertainment industry.
Tsang did not let this deter her, and she found work behind the cameras as a script supervisor and production assistant.
