Source-derived summary

Fung Fung (simplified Chinese: 冯峰; traditional Chinese: 馮峰; pinyin: Féng Fēng; 1 December 1916 – 16 February 2000) was a veteran Hong Kong actor. He began his career as a leading man in 1946. An accident in 1949 left the left side of his face paralysed, but, while no longer able to attract leading roles, he enjoyed a long career as a character actor, appearing in films alongside such stars as Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung. He was the father of Fung Bo Bo, a child star of the 1960s, Alice Fung So-bor, a veteran actress, and Fung Hak-On, an actor known for playing villainous roles in several kung fu/action comedies of the 1970s and 1980s.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Fung Fung” is hong Kong actor (1916–2000). The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Fung, Hong and Kong, not as a finished interpretation.

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—1916, 2000, 1946, 1949—that can be checked directly. The authority record carries competing date values—1916-12-01, 1920-01-01—which should remain separate until their references and qualifiers are resolved. For this dossier, Fung, Hong and Kong is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “hong Kong actor (1916–2000)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5443368. VIAF identifies the subject as 95117165. The Library of Congress control number is no2011049871. 4 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1916, 2000, 1946 and 1949.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. 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

Read biographical claims against dates, named institutions and the cited references. Distinguish a subject’s later reputation from evidence produced during their lifetime.
