Chow Yun-Fat (nickname: 發哥) born May 18, 1955 on Lamma Island, Hong Kong, is an ethnic Chinese actor. He is among a handful of internationally recognized screen actors that Hong Kong has produced, along with Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh and others. A charismatic actor, he has been likened to a grittier, more intense version of Cary Grant, and the Asian version of Alain Delon. (source: Wikipedia)  Level: 4 This term is used in both Cantonese and Mandarin/Standard written Chinese. |
