Biography
This guy is (also) one of the top Lackeys (Yes-man to the Boss); he's always delivering messages or sneaking around to check on you (2 Assassins Of The Darkness). I found it amusing the way Chang Yi put an end to that, in the under-rated The Great Hunter with Jimmy Wang-Yu. Not a kung-fu bone on his body, but that didn't stop him from gracing as many productions as he could. This guy found more work in kung-fu films, than most of kung-fu's top stars.
Time and again, he's worked with some of the best names in the business. You'll see him in films, where you wouldn't think he'd fit in, yet, he's been fitting in kung-fu films for years. He's (actually) one of the most recognizable "lackeys" in kung-fu films. In Mar's Villa, he nearly drove John Liu (and me) crazy, raking that bar across the cage. He's a fine actor, who didn't limit his range to just kung-fu films, as you can find him in numerous Modern films as well.

His filmography could (almost) read like actor Lo Lieh's, in that, he's done so many films. Though, he's another HPB (Human Punching Bag), at least he knows it. He didn't go around pretending he wasn't going get his butt kicked (because he was) he just didn't know when. In Conspiracy Of Thieves, he gave Tan Tao-Liang a hard time, until the tables were turned. This was (also) one of the biggest roles he's had (in a kung-fu film). Aside from the characters that he played in martial-arts films, he was one of the better Character-actors in Asian Cinema.
