Early life

edit

Li was born in Hong Kong and was educated at a Christian school. At the age of 11, Li started training with Shaw Brothers Acting School where she was taught Mandarin, contemporary dancing, classical dancing, ballet and martial arts.[1]

Career

edit

In 1964 at age 14, Li made her feature film debut The Last Woman of Shang and was signed to an exclusive acting contract with Shaw Brothers Studio in 1966.[2]

After a few years playing supporting roles, Li rose to fame when she played her first leading role in the 1970 film The Wandering Swordsman directed by Chang Cheh and starred David Chiang.[3] Li became one of the more popular of the Shaw Brothers actresses from the late 1960s through to the 1970s and she appeared in many action films and was at one time the protégé of martial arts expert, director and actor Lau Kar-leung.[3]

Early in her career with Shaw Brothers Studio, Li appeared in many martial arts dramas and often played smart and witty heroine roles. She joined the Commercial Television network Jiayi TV and starred in the lead role of the heroine in the television series The Bride with White Hair. After the collapse of Jiayi TV in 1978, Li travelled to Taiwan and starred in martial arts films including Relentless Broken Blade/Lyrical Blade and One Foot Crane. In early 1980, Li played the lead role in individual episodes for Hong Kong's public broadcaster RTHK for the series Light and Shadow in My City presented by Ivan Ho Sau-sun called 'Under The Roof: Gap', and the sequel presented by Dominic Lam Ka-wah, Light and Shadow in My City II's episode called 'The Half Life of Kam Chi'.[4]

Li joined Rediffusion Television in 1980, now known as Asia Television (ATV),[1] and starred in several television series including Blood Debt, Super Hero, 101 Citizen Arrest, Drunken Fist 2, Fly Over the Ring, The Devil Force and House Man. During her time with ATV, Li continued travelling to Taiwan to star in television dramas including Elephant Flying Across the River[5][6] and Shaolin Disciple and appeared in independent Hong Kong films including The Young Master, Daggers 8 and Dreadnaught.[7][8][9]

In 1988, Li left Asia Television and switched to TVB. She starred in numerous supporting roles including The Final Combat, The Legend of the Invincible, The Blood Hounds, State of Divinity, Better Halves and Beauty at War. Li left TVB in January 2020 after deciding not to renew her contract, ending a 32-year relationship with the TV network.[1][3][10]

Death

edit

Li died from lung cancer in Hong Kong, on 27 October 2024, at the age of 74.[11]
