Lau was born in 1952 in Hong Kong. His mother, Li Wen (黎雯; 1916-1983), was a well-known actress in Hong Kong. Lau studied in St. Paul's College before going on to learn to play the piano at the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM). He practised martial arts such as Judo, Kung-Fu, Karate, & also learned Jeet Kune Do from Bruce Lee until Lee's death.

Film career

Liu joined the Hong Kong film production company Golden Harvest in 1970 at the age of 18. He made his debut as the son of the villain in the 1971 film The Big Boss, which starred Bruce Lee in his first major role. He also appeared in another three of Bruce Lee's films - as a martial arts student in Fist of Fury (1972); as a restaurant worker who practises karate in Way of the Dragon (1972); and as a tournament fighter who fights with John Saxon's character in Enter the Dragon (1973).
