Biography
When I first saw him in the cult-classic The Chinese Mack, he held me in awe playing the teacher of Chan Yi-Lam, who would take Chan Wai-Man as a student. Though he didn't really do much within the film, it was the way he grabbed Chan's head and had his thumbs poised at his eyes, caught me (and his new student) completely off-guard. He was actually the Make-up Artist at Shaw studios, working his magic on countless actors and actresses.
He, eventually, step in front on the camera to appear in a number of films such as Forbidden Tales Of Two Cities for famed Shaw director Li Han-Hsiang and Wedding Bells For Hedy, for the Cathay Film Company. Most of the films I've seen him in, he's played in mostly bit-parts, such as in Golden Needles, where he played an Acupuncturist. Truthfully, his talents could have expanded much more than just the Make-up room or the small parts he played in certain film.

Also seen as Sonny Chiba's teacher in the obscure Soul Of Chiba, where in the end he disappointed Chiba, by being something other than a teacher (don't want to spoil it for you). He was the diamond-cutter, who swallowed the goods he was supposed to be cutting, in the The Tattoo Connection (with Jim Kelly and Tan Tao-Liang). I haven't seen him in any other major productions that warrant viewing by serious fans of kung-fu films (other than the first (2) films mentioned here). His talents could have been used for more than the Make-up Room. He had done some of his greatest work, helping others achieve stardom, while he watched from the sidelines.
