Biography
Some of the best "Martial-Arts Form Champions" come from Mainland China. In the category of top kung-fu performers such as Jet Li, Chiu Jian-Guo, and Hu Chun-Hua - you can add this guy. With movements that are so smooth, it's a shame that he didn't appear in more kung-fu movies (that reached the U.S.) earlier in his career. His performances in Young Hero Of Shaolin 1 & 2, had many fans hoping for more of the same. Yet, this was near the end of the genre, as it was known around the world.
You can tell from his moves, that he had extensive training of some kind - along with just about everyone else, in the films he's appeared. Just as most Mainland actors before him, I (personally) don't think that they get the type of exposure they deserve, just because they aren't the big names like Jackie Chan and others. But, given the opportunity to prove themselves in US film market, I think we would have seen a lot more excellent films, from some (truly) talented performers.

Had he (and other Mainland performers) been given the chance to work with directors like Liu Chia-Liang and Samo Hung early on, there's no telling where they could have ended up. A prime example is the Wu-Shu trained artist, Yang Ching-Ching. Her talents surpassed many of her Hong Kong-trained female counterparts. Since given a chance to show what she could do, she became a major star in kung-fu films and (now) a much sought-after Choreographer of Asian films, to this day.
