Sources, and Tsui himself, differ on whether he was born in Canton (Guangzhou) province of China or in Vietnam. He was raised in Saigon by his Chinese emigre parents, in a large family with sixteen siblings. Tsui showed an early interest in show business and movies; when he was ten, he and some friends rented an 8mm camera with which to film the magic show they put on at school. He also drew comic books, an interest that would influence his cinematic style.
