小雯（1935年10月12日—1997年2月21日），原名蔡慧芳，福建廈門人。其父經營皮鞋生意，大陸政權易手後，她隨母親與兄長移居香港。1950年代初她獲一中影業公司羅致，成為基本演員，處女作為廈語片《唐伯虎點秋香》（1952），在片中飾演夏香，此片亦是廈語片的開山賣座作之一。此後她游走南風、良友等多家廈語片公司，主演三十多部廈語片，包括《烏白蛇》（上、續集，1954）、《荔鏡緣》（一至三集，1953至54年）、《雪梅教子》、《蓮花庵》、《劫後鴛鴦》及《包公審月英》（均1955年）等；其中《烏白蛇》取材自白蛇傳說，《荔鏡緣》改編自閩南民間故事陳三五娘，《雪梅教子》、《蓮花庵》與《劫後鴛鴦》則是家庭倫理悲劇，題材多貼近閩南社群的民間信仰與倫理觀念。這些作品戲路以苦情悲劇見稱，她特別擅演命運坎坷的女性。廈語片主要面向閩南語社群與東南亞華僑市場，1950年代的香港正是這類方言片的製作中心，產品輸往台灣、菲律賓及星馬等地，小雯是其中一位主要女星。1956年，她為良友影業演出的《詹典嫂告御狀》與《連理生韓琦》在台灣及菲律賓相當賣座；1957年她隨良友創辦人張國良赴台灣拍攝廈語片《唐三藏救母》。踏入1960年代，廈語片的產量隨市場變化而減少。她通曉國語與粵語，亦曾參演國語片《化身姑娘》（1956）。她有過兩段婚姻，首任丈夫為廈語片影星胡同，二人多度合作；弟弟蔡金國（藝名金谷）則是廈語片童星。1997年，她於香港逝世。

Xiao Wen (12 October 1935 - 21 February 1997), born Cai Huifang, was a native of Xiamen in Fujian. Her father was in the leather-shoe business, and she moved to Hong Kong with her mother and brother after the change of government on the mainland. In the early 1950s she joined Yi Zhong Film Company as a studio actress, making her debut in the Amoy-dialect film Tang Bohu's Seduction of Qiuxiang (1952) as Xia Xiang, one of the genre's early box-office successes. She went on to work for several Amoy-dialect companies, including Nan Feng and Liangyou, and starred in more than thirty Amoy-dialect films, among them The White and Black Snake (parts one and two, 1954), a three-part adaptation of the Lychee Mirror (1953-54), and a run of 1955 titles such as Xue Mei Teaches Her Son, Lotus Nunnery, Lovers After the Calamity and Judge Bao Tries Yue Ying; drawing mostly on folk legend and family morality — The White and Black Snake on the legend of the white snake, the Lychee Mirror on the Hokkien tale of Chen San and Fifth Lady — the films cast her above all as women of hard fortune in tragic roles. Amoy-dialect cinema served Hokkien-speaking communities and overseas Chinese audiences, and 1950s Hong Kong was the production centre for such dialect pictures, shipped to Taiwan, the Philippines, Singapore and Malaya; Xiao Wen was one of its leading faces. Two 1956 pictures for Liangyou Film, Zhan Dian's Widow Appeals to the Emperor and Lianli Gives Birth to Han Qi, did strong business in Taiwan and the Philippines, and in 1957 she travelled to Taiwan with Liangyou's founder Zhang Guoliang to shoot Tang Sanzang Saves His Mother. Entering the 1960s, Amoy-dialect production dwindled with the market. Fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese, she also appeared in the Mandarin film The Bewitched Girl (1956). Twice married, her first husband was the Amoy-dialect actor Hu Tong, with whom she often worked; her younger brother Cai Jinguo, billed as Jin Gu, was a child star. She died in Hong Kong in 1997.
