Career

Zeng started her acting career in 1983 after completing SBC's 3rd artiste drama training course and debuted in Army Series (新兵小传). She later starred alongside her drama coursemate Wang Yuqing in the then Singapore Broadcasting Corporation's (now MediaCorp TV) classic drama The Flying Fish (小飞鱼).

Zeng continued to perform in several dramas such as the 1985 hit drama Takeover (人在旅途) which gained her popularity in China. It was her role as the lead character Ah Gui in the 1986 blockbuster period drama Samsui Women which shot her to fame.

Zeng continued taking on more lead roles in various local television and telemovie productions. In 1995, she was nominated in the Star Awards Best Actress category for her role in the telemovie The Chance Of Life. In 1996, she became the first actress to ever be nominated for three different awards at the annual Star Awards. The three awards she was nominated for were: the Best Actress Award for Dr Justice II, Best Supporting Actress Award for The Teochew Family, and the Top 5 Most Popular Female Artiste Award. Zeng managed to bag the Best Supporting Actress award.
