Chin Han, is a Taiwanese actor whose birth name is Sun Siang-chong (孫祥鐘), and got his first stage name Kang Kai (康凱) from Li Han-hsiang (李翰祥) at the beginning of his acting career.

In Chin’s long acting career, he is best known for starring in literary romantic (愛情文藝) films and TV series, adaptations from novels by Qiong Yao (瓊瑤) and other writers in the 1970s and 1980s. With Charlie Chin (秦祥林), Brigitte Lin (林青霞) and Joan Lin (林鳳嬌), the four eventually became known as the "Two Chins and Two Lins" (二秦二林) for their extensive roles in the genre of literary romantic film.
