Susanna Au-yeung explained

Susanna Au-yeung (; 6 December 1953 – 9 July 2017) was a Hong Kong actress.

Born Chan Kit Ying (Chinese: 陳潔英),^[1] Au-yeung began acting in the 1960s and retired in 1993,^[2] ostensibly because she was chosen as a backup for actresses who decided to leave their roles on multiple drama series especially at TVB in projects such as Don't Look Now (Chinese: 執到寶) and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.^[3]

In 1993, Au-yeung trained and became an acupuncturist in Hong Kong.

Au-yeung was married to actor Kwok Fung from 1977 to her death at the age of 63 in 2017 of lung cancer.^[4] They had no children of their own but raised an adopted son.
