Ada Choi Siu-fun (Chinese: 蔡少芬; pinyin: Cài Shàofēn; born 17 September 1973) is a Hong Kong actress best known for her work for TVB television, and to a lesser extent, for her film work. She was the second runner-up in the 1991 Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant.
On 12 January 2008, Choi married Chinese actor Max Zhang, born on 19 May 1974 ,[1][2] whom she had dated for four and a half years. He was her co-star in a number of Zhouyi Media television productions including Paradise and Eight Charts. Their daughter Zoe Zhang Chor-yee (張楚兒) was born 11 May 2011.
Choi revealed in 2000 that her mother is a compulsive gambler who incurred millions of debts, which Choi has been paying off since she was 17 years old with all her earnings. Unable to pay off further debts, Choi severed relations with her mother.
In 2009, she starred in Rebellion as a triad gang leader who chain-smokes and curses, a different type of role for Ada.
