Source-derived summary

Alexander Fong Chung-sun (Chinese: 方中信; born 17 March 1963) is a Macau-Hong Kong actor. He married actress Hoyan Mok in 2008; they have one daughter.

Incidents

Fong has been a brand representative of DOXA, a brand of watches since 2008. In the opening ceremony of DOXA's flagship store in Guangzhou, Fong was sexually harassed by another female guest at the event. DOXA issued an open declaration stating Fong's under-performing had harmed the image of the brand, and therefore they terminated the arrangement. Mani Fok, the representative of the artist management that Fong belonged to, explicitly said that the issues involved some requirements which were outside the signed contract as a brand representative.

Editorial summary

Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1963, 2008—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1963-03-17. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Alex, Fong and actor.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Alex Fong (actor)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Alex, Fong and actor provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4717006. VIAF identifies the subject as 76105111. The Library of Congress control number is no2007118608. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1963 and 2008.

Critical limits

Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
