Terry Tong Kei-ming, born in 1950, is one of the directors associated with the Hong Kong New Wave, a former producer in the drama division of Television Broadcasts and now a producer and production head at Shaw Brothers. Educated at Ying Wa College with a lawyer for an elder brother, he graduated from the fourth actor training class of RTV in 1969 and took a fine arts degree at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 1975, the year he joined Television Broadcasts as a researcher before moving to its publicity department. In 1978 he moved to Commercial Television to direct a martial arts serial, and after that station closed he joined RTV for a run of acclaimed wuxia dramas. He first directed a feature in 1980 though the company changed hands mid-shoot; two years later he completed his genuine debut, followed by several dramas and romantic comedies, earning a number of Hong Kong Film Awards nominations and prizes. He also shot the second half of a landmark New Wave film when its original director exhausted the budget. From 1993 to 2002 he directed dramas for the anti-corruption agency's community relations department, then produced serials at Television Broadcasts until 2012, when he moved to the mainland. He teaches at a film school and joined Shaw Brothers in 2021.
