  • Native name: 吳家驤
  • Also Known as: Wu Jiaxiang, Wu Kar Sung, Ng Ka Seung, 吴家骧

Wu Chia Hsiang was a Hong Kong actor born in Beijing to wealthy bureaucrat parents. His future in textiles had already been mapped for him at an early age by his father. However, when the Sino-Japanese War broke out after the 1937 Marco Polo Bridge incident, his patriotism led him to join the army – and discover his love for the performing arts.

He finally achieved his dream of being a director with the film "Father and Son". He then joined Shaw Brothers in 1965 with a directing and acting contract.

After leaving Shaw Brothers in the 70s, he only directed one more film, "Springtime In Pattaya", before his death in 1993 at the age of 74.
