Fung lost the use of his legs as a child after contracting a virus which damaged his spinal cord. At age 15, he began practicing wheelchair fencing at a public training facility in Hong Kong. After the 2004 Paralympic Games he regained the ability to walk and retired from fencing.

In the months leading up to the 2008 Summer Paralympics in Beijing, Fung coached Japanese wheelchair fencer Toyoaki Hisakawa in preparation for the games.
