Four-Title Miss Hong Kong Winner Lee San San Spotted at Bakery, Seen Chatting Casually with Staff in a Return to Simple Life

(Hong Kong, 20th) Former Miss Hong Kong “four-title winner” Lee San San, now 48, once dominated the pageant scene by winning Miss Hong Kong, Miss Photogenic, Miss Media Favorite, and Miss Talent in 1996. She later rose to fame through TVB dramas such as Forensic Heroes, Burning Flame, and Detective Investigation Files IV.

Recently, Lee was spotted by netizens at a bakery in Causeway Bay. Wearing glasses and dressed casually with long hair, she appeared relaxed and approachable, chatting with staff and smiling warmly. Standing at around 1.75 meters tall, her model-like figure remains striking. Fans affectionately referred to her by her character name “Siu Tong Choi” from Forensic Heroes.

At the peak of her career, Lee stepped away from the entertainment industry due to panic disorder. She revealed that she struggled with interpersonal relationships from a young age, and the pressures of the industry—combined with criticism and emotional suppression—eventually took a toll on her mental health, leading her to withdraw from public life.

During her time away, she went through a period of nightlife and excess lasting nearly a decade before regaining clarity. In recent years, she also faced health challenges and was hospitalized in critical condition last year, with support from actor Bowie Lam helping her through the ordeal.

In terms of relationships, Lee was in an eight-year relationship with Chin Ka Lok after meeting on the set of Burning Flame. Rumors once claimed he proposed to her publicly in the Philippines, but she later clarified it was merely a playful act encouraged by friends.

She reflected that they never truly planned a future together and accepted the breakup as fate. Even a past prediction that they would part ways if they didn’t marry came true, which she now views with calm acceptance.
