Biography
He stood out in the star-studded Brave Archer-1 (Kung Fu Warlords) as the villain he who was practicing the "Skull Technique" (sinking his finger into waxed skulls), before doing battle with Lu Feng and getting stabbed in the stomach by a young (and inexperienced) Fu Sheng. He was noticeable in The Chinatown Kid and in the Shaw Bros' hit Demon Fists Of Kung Fu. He's, usually, cast in films, where his skill could be useful, yet, he's not allowed to (fully) use it. Killer From Above, quickly, springs into mind, as one such film.
Though, he has pretty good skills, he is not a face that is seen in a great deal of productions, out side of the Shaw Bros' films. He starred along with David Chiang, Chi Kuan-Chun, and Li I-Min in Magnificent Wanderers, which though it didn't fare well at the box-office, it was still quite entertaining for a Comedy. He is one to [basically] blend into the background if you're not watching closely, as most top stars kind of over-shadow his efforts, to be seen. This didn't mean that he wasn't skillful, because he was, and he just needed a good vehicle to display his skills (properly).
