Mantic Yiu Chi Wan is an actress who has performed in film, television and commercials
(she once advertised a brand of peanut oil). Though she aspired to be an actress since
she was a young girl, her professional acting career did not take shape until she was
already into her 30's.
At the age of 9 her uncle took her to and from Kowloon so she could participate in local
stage plays. Eventually she attempted to enter an actors training course, but, failing to
pass the entrance examination, she set her sights on becoming a dress designer.
During this time she continued to audition for roles but these efforts were fruitless.
At age 32, she tried to re-enter the training course and was again rejected. Then she
decided to study film at a Chinese university, where she and other students made a short
film which was screened at local festivals and abroad. Ironically, the prestige from this
effort opened the doors for acting opportunities after graduation. One break from a friend led
to more and more offers, and since 1994 she has acted in many series for the ATV network.
