Shih Chung Tien was a Hong Kong actor. He was raised by his stepmother and was a sickly child. He decided to practice martial arts to improve his health and trained for nine years. He trained at Shanghai's Chin Woo Athletic Association and was among the first generation of students at the school to be certified as instructors. After becoming certified to teach styles, including Eagle Claw and Choy Li Fut, he decided to start his career as an actor.

However, the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War caused his studies to be disrupted. He and his friends travelled between Guangzhou and Hong Kong to stage drama performances in order to raise funds as part of the anti-Japanese movement. Besides acting on stage, he also participated in backstage activities, such as makeup and arrangements of lighting and props.

He retired from the entertainment industry in 1992 with over 100 acting credits to his name.
