This is the 40th instalment in a biweekly series profiling major Hong Kong pop culture figures of recent decades.
Widely referred to as Ah Jie (“big sister”), Liza Wang Ming-chun has been a household name in Hong Kong for over half a century for her performances on TV and in Cantonese opera.
Born in Shanghai in 1947, Wang emigrated to Hong Kong at age nine, where she attended a prestigious private Catholic primary school for five years.
She had always enjoyed performing and took part in singing and recital competitions as a teenager, she told HK Magazine in 2009.
She scored six points in her secondary education exams, well below the passing score of 14, and sought career choices outside academics.
