Flora Chan (陳慧珊; born May 30, 1970) is a popular Hong Kong television actress, whose rise to fame is quite unique from the other actresses in the industry. Flora Chan was born in Hong Kong and emigrated to Boston, MA at a young age. As a child, she had hoped to become a dancer, but because of an injury when she was a teenager she was forced to abandon her dreams as a professional dancer. She attended Boston College and earned a degree in Journalism before returning to Hong Kong in the early 1990s with her then-husband. She and her husband divorced in 2000, and she has remained single ever since, despite the fact that she is rumored to have been romantically involved with co-stars, the likes of Bowie Lam and Moses Chan. Flora has denied these as mere rumors. Flora admitted that she is now (May 2006) dating her manager 鐘家鴻, and she has since said she is ready to marry again. Image File history File links LWF0040. ...

Untraceable Evidence 2 (3109 words)
Flora meanwhile was sitting in her house going through her e-mails and realized that Bowie had sent her one e-mail each night for the past 9 months.
Flora, not knowing what to do, begins to avoid Bowie and tries to break off their relationship by being rude to him.
Flora decided to leave HK at the end but Bowie caught her just in time and had a talk with her.
a case of misadventure (3100 words)
Flora Chan in a lead role after goodness knows how long: one which she doesn't have to share limelight with any other actress or one where she isn't some guest star who only appears in a handful of episodes and is subsequently replaced with some stand-in at the end.
Flora again plays the same strong, level-headed and smart woman role, yes, but this time round, it is, what one would call in Malay, more kampung (village).
Flora looks older than William (though in actual fact, she is younger) and coupled with the fact that Flora's Foon Jie seemed more matured and older than William's Chan Tai Hei, pairing them up as a couple would have just looked totally weird.
