In particular, her collaboration with Hong Kong actors Adam Cheng, and Ching-Wan Lau in the TV series "The Greed of Man" was one important production. The forty-episode dramatic series revolved around some controversial topics, ranging from triad families with its depiction of violence to the control of the Hong Kong stock exchange via corruption. In the series, Vivian Chow played Yuen Mui, the girlfriend of Fong Chin-bok.

She started as a neighbor of the Fongs, and witnessed the joys and tribulations of the Fong family. She was sweet, down-to-earth, pure, and faithful, but she was extremely frugal with money. Chow gave a very accurate performance of the character.

Vivian Chow retired from the Hong Kong entertainment scene in the late 1997 when she and her boyfriend, Joe Nieh, emigrated to Vancouver, Canada. Though she still made frequent trips to Hong Kong to visit her family and to support animal-rights charities.

Apart from being known as an actress and singer, Vivian Chow has also been awarded several times for her paintings and masterful renditions on the piano.
