1986-2002:TVB & Film Career

Suki signed on as a contract artist with TVB and made her debut in 1986. Kwan was a contestant in the 1987 Miss Hong Kong Pageant.,^[1] but did not enter the final 12 nor won any awards. In 1987, Kwan became an actress in Hong Kong films. Kwan first appeared as Chu in The Romancing Star, a comedy film directed by Wong Jing. Her TVB contract was renewed in 1990 and ended in 1993. During that period, she participated in several TV series and joined Happy Tonight for three months. Although she had a lot of work, her stardom was not smooth. After leaving TVB, she switched to Debao and moved to the film industry, and later changed her contract to China Entertainment Company. In 1995, Suki temporarily withdrew from the show business for two years before returning in 1997.

2003-2005: Car Crash & Retirement

In 2003, Suki was involved in a car crash and was sentenced for 14 days for the collision and attempting to deceive police. Suki was the intoxicated driver at the time, but after crashing her vehicle, she switched seats with her male friend. Police caught on the ruse and court proceedings sentenced her to detention for two weeks.^[2] After she was released, she told news reporters she has experienced a new perspective in life and took a year break from filming. She would return to film her final film before retiring from the entertainment industry.

Kwan's last film was Colour of the Loyalty, a 2005 Triad film directed by Wong Jing and Billy Chung Siu-Hung. While she never publicly announced her retirement, she hasn't been featured in any media since 2005. Suki remains in Hong Kong, but maintains a low-key lifestyle.
