HONG KONG actor, director and producer Alan Tang Kwong-wing died Tuesday. He was 64.

    Tang was found lying in his Mong Kok home, after suffering a suspected stroke, around 9 p.m.

    Tang rose to fame after starring in the Cantonese movie “Student Prince” in 1963, after which he went on to make 63 films.

    Upon graduating from the New Method College, Tang acted in films alongside Josephine Hsiao Fang-fang and in the 1960s and 1970s was often voted best male actor by movie magazines.

    After moving to Taiwan in the 1970s, he often collaborated with Brigitte Lin Qingxia in such films as “Run Lover Run.”

    In 1977, he formed production company The Wing-Scope. Ten years later, Tang established another company, In-Gear Film Production, working alongside his brother, producer and presenter Rover Tang, and continued to produce and act in films, establishing himself as an action star.

    Throughout the 1990s, Tang pursued a second career in the restaurant business.

    He was the godfather of actress-cum-singer Joyce Cheng Yan-yee and a close friend of her mother — the late Hong Kong actress Lydia Sum Din-ha. (SD-Agencies)
