Norman Chui Siu-keung (16 October 1950 – 1 September 2024) was a Hong Kong actor. He was best known for portraying heroic protagonists in many martial arts films from the 1970s to 1980s and later portraying villainous roles in the 1990s. Chui was contracted with Asia Television during the 1990s and mostly acted in mainland China thereafter.[1]

Chui married his first wife Zhang Xiaofeng (張小鳳) in 1975. They separated shortly in 1976 after noticing incompatibility between the two and divorced in 1979.[2]

In 1980, Chui married his second wife Ho Suk Foon (何淑寬) and they have a son, Keian Chui [zh] (徐梓耀), who would later work as a content creator in the advertising and entertainment industries of Hong Kong.

In 1982, Chui had an affair with actress Sidney Yim [zh], the younger sister of actress Michelle Yim,[3] and they have a son Edward Chui [zh] and a daughter Erica Chui [zh]. Chui and Yim broke off their relationship in 1988.[4]

In 2005 Chui married a Chinese dancer Meng Yuxuan (孟雨軒), who was about 30 years his junior, and they have a daughter and a son.[5]

Chui died from esophageal cancer in Beijing, on 1 September 2024, at the age of 73.[6][7] Chui's wife, Meng Yuxuan, while handling his funeral arrangements, suffered a heart attack and died on 5 September 2024.
