Adam Cheng Siu-Chow (Traditional Chinese: é?å°?ç§?, Simplified Chinese: é??å°?ç§?, Jyutping: Zeng6 Siu3 Cau1, Pinyin: Zheng4 Shao4 Qiu1, Originally named é?å?µä¸?;Cheng Chong-sai) (born February 24, 1947 in Hong Kong) is a popular TVB actor and singer in Hong Kong.
He started his career in the 1970s, where he gained a reputation for being the suave leading man in wuxia drama series made by TVB. Many of these are based on novels by Louis Cha and Gu Long. He often sang the theme songs of the TV dramas he starred in, such as The Greed of Man, Cold Blood Warm Heart and Chor Lau Heung. Many of these series are considered classics.
He has a total of four daughters. The first one was from a low profile marriage that ended in divorce. He married Lydia Shum in 1985 after 14 years of courtship. They had a daughter, Joyce Cheng Yan Yee in 1987, but they divorced just less than a month after she was born. In 1989, he remarried and had another two daughters.
He has continued acting in TV series by TVB today and is considered one of the most enduringly popular actors of the company.
Cheng is associated with the Ding Hai Effect, a peculiar and unexplained phenomenon that apparently causes a drop in global stock markets whenever he stars in a new TV show.
