She starred in director Wong Kar-wai's award-winning movie, Fallen Angels, in 1996, which won her Best Supporting Actress award at the Hong Kong Film Award. Since then, she has been creating her "Mok factor".

In 2013, she released her first English-language jazz album, Somewhere I Belong, which fulfilled a longtime dream to sing her original jazz tunes while plucking guzheng, the traditional Chinese instrument she learned as a child.

"I always feel lucky to have my biggest hobby as a lifelong career and I follow my intuition when performing. But now I want to spend more time with my family and to rejuvenate," said Mok.
