Kate Tsui Tsz-shan (Chinese: 徐子珊) is a Hong Kong actress, who is best known for her work with Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB), and to an extent, for her film work. She also holds the Miss Hong Kong 2004 title.
A Hakka, Kate Tsui was born and raised in Hong Kong. Her father works in logistics, and while her mother is now a homemaker, she was a dancer when she was younger. Tsui also has an older sister, who is married with two kids. As of 2014, Tsui has expressed that with the exception of herself, her entire immediate family now resides in Taiwan.
Prior to winning her beauty queen title, Tsui had originally aspired to become a professional dancer. She had begun practicing ballet since age 4, but was forced to quit when she was 11, due to an injury on her right ankle. At age 14, she had begun to practice Hip Hop and Jazz dance. She is skilled in different interests such as acting, dancing, learning languages, and snowboarding.
She was educated at Kiangsu-Chekiang College (Shatin), and Queen Maud Secondary School and eventually graduated from the University of California, Davis, majoring in Japanese and minoring in Spanish and Marketing. After completing her degree, she had returned to Hong Kong and worked as a translator and market consultant. She had previously worked at Dah Chong Hong.
In 2004, she entered into the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant and was crowned as the winner; in the pageant, she had also received Miss Photogenic, Miss International Goodwill, and the Slimming Beauty Award. After the pageant, she had signed with TVB and began her career as an actress.
