    Early life

    Alice Chan was born in Beijing, with ancestry in the county-level city of Puning in Guangdong. She settled in Hong Kong with her parents and elder sister when she was one-and-a-half years old. After graduating high school, she attended Chu Hai College of Higher Education. She stopped after two years of study to enter the Miss Asia 1996 beauty pageant at 22 years old.

    Career

    Chan began her television and acting career after winning the Miss Asia 1996 beauty pageant. She signed a management contract with Asia Television (ATV) that same year, and began filming her first television production. Chan quickly became one of the most popular actresses in ATV, alongside Joey Meng, Kristal Tin and Kristy Yang. In 2005, she gained recognition for her leading role of a series that was loosely based on the late actress Anita Mui.

    Chan retired from the industry after marrying the Taiwanese businessman James Yen. In 2012, after divorcing with Yen, Chan returned to acting and signed an artiste contract with TVB.

    In 2018, Chan earned critical acclaim with her role as the villainous Princess Taiping in the period drama Deep in the Realm of Conscience and won the Most Popular Female Character award at the 2018 TVB Anniversary Awards.

    Personal life

    In 2008, Chan married Taiwanese businessman James Yen. They divorced in 2012. In 2019, Chan was spotted dating with a doctor. She later admitted that she was in a new relationship with a doctor named Aldous Chan.[1] On 22 November 2021, Chan announced her engagement with her boyfriend.
