In the mid-1990s, television director Teng Dak-Hei asked her to participate in his upcoming series, the fifth installment of the popular TVB drama series, *[File of Justice](/source/File_of_Justice)*. Chan's performance in this series about young, yuppie lawyers caught the attention of the HK audience, and TVB. She joined as a TVB actress and has since made other series, most notably *[Untraceable Evidence](/source/Untraceable_Evidence)*, playing the calm and collected forensics doctor, "Pauline Lip"; and in *[Healing Hands](/source/Healing_Hands_(TV_series))*, a TVB series known for its cutting edge [medical](/source/Medical) topics. In 2002, Chan won the coveted "Most Favourite TV Actress" award presented annually by TVB. Having already starred in various TVB dramas, she is no longer signed on with TVB as a full-time [actress](/source/Actress). In November 2006, Chan announced she would be returning to film a TVB serial in February 2007.[1] ## Filmography ### TV series Year Title Role Awards Notes 1997 File of Justice V Catherine Au Tze-Keung Untraceable Evidence Pauline Nip Bo-Yin 1998 Healing Hands Annie Kong Sun-Yuet 1999 Untraceable Evidence II Pauline Nip Bo-Yin Feminine Masculinity Christine Fong Sze-Ching TVB Award for My Favourite On-Screen Partners a.k.a.
