Alexander Fu Sheng was a Hong Kong martial arts actor in the 1970s. He was born in Hong Kong, the son of a wealthy New Territories indigenous inhabitant businessman. As a child, his family lived in Hawaii for a few years, and there he began training in judo and karate.

In 1971, he enrolled at Shaw Brothers Southern Drama School and instantly drew the attention of director Chang Cheh. Cheh had Fu Sheng train with Lau Kar Leung for 6 months. Fu Sheng made his film debut as an extra in the 1972 film "The Fourteen Amazons".

In 1976, he married singer and actress Jenny Tseng, who had appeared with him in the film "New Shaolin Boxers". He suffered a series of injuries in 1978 and 1979. On the set of "The Deadly Breaking Sword", a wire suspending him snapped, and he fell eight feet, landing on his head. While working on "Heroes Shed No Tears", he shattered bones in his right leg.

On July 7, 1983, he died as the result of an automobile accident. At the time, he was filming "The Eight Diagram Pole Fighter", in which he was to be the hero. The film was partially rewritten, and the remainder of the film was shot. In the finished film, his character abruptly disappears, and the focus shifts to co-star Gordon Liu's character. His funeral was organized by the Shaw Brothers committee.
