Background
Early life
Born and raised in Hong Kong, Sun attended Po Yan Primary School (1977–1983), then Ho Lap College starting in 1983. The secondary school hosted an annual "Drama Night," where he was bored by the poor acting he witnessed as audience. Determined to make a difference, he joined the school drama club in Form 3. His acting talent was soon recognized by Mr. Raymond To Kwok-Wai (杜國威), the teacher in charge of drama, who became his formative mentor and enlightener. During his secondary school years, Sun won the "Best Actor Award" in consecutive school drama competitions (1986/87 and 1987/88).

Why this record matters
The phrase “hong Kong actor (b1971)” 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.
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 Sep 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q134961984. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1971, 1994, 1977 and 1983.
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.
