Ting Hai effectEdit

Main article: Ting Hai effect

In 1992, TVB released the TV series The Greed of Man, based on the central theme of the stock market and explored the schemes and plots used by people to make their fortune in the market. Cheng played Ting Hai in the series, who made an immense fortune by short selling derivatives and stocks during a bear market. Many people went bankrupt while Ting Hai's family became richer until they were defeated by their nemesis. Cheng became popularly associated with the Ting Hai effect, named after his character in the series. The effect involves a peculiar and unexplained phenomenon, in which global stock markets will fall whenever a new Hong Kong TV drama series, starring Cheng, is aired.

Personal lifeEdit

Cheng has four daughters. The oldest, Cheng On-yee, was from his first low-profile marriage that ended in divorce. He married fellow actress Lydia Shum in 1985 after 14 years of cohabitation. Cheng and Shum had a daughter, Joyce Cheng, two years after their marriage. They divorced eight months after their daughter's birth. In 1989, Cheng married Koon Jing-wah and had another two daughters, Cheng Wing-yan and Cheng Wing-hei, with Koon.
