Timeline

1950

Born Yung Kai-chi on 2 September 1950 in Hong Kong, Kai attended the China Drama Academy, a Peking opera school in Hong Kong in the late 1950s and 1960s.

He was instructed by Master Yu Jim Yuen and became a member of the Seven Little Fortunes along with fellow students including Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Yuen Qiu and Corey Yuen.

Like the other students, he took his sifu's given name – "Yuen".

In his biography, Jackie Chan stated that Yuen Wah's martial arts ability was well respected among his fellow students.

After leaving the opera school, many of the students entered the Hong Kong film industry.

Yuen Wah was given an anglicised stagename, Sam Yuen, but like Yuen Biao (Bill Yuen / Jimmy Yuen), the name was not used.

Rather than reverting to their birth names, both retained their opera school names, as did several other former students.
