Biography
Being married to Shaw Superstar Ivy Ling-Po could really keep a man on his toes. But being that he too worked at Shaw Bros' studio and wasn't hurting for work himself, he managed to carve out a decent film career for himself. I thoroughly confused him with kung-fu star Henry Yu-Yung of Fist Of The Double K fame, when in the early 70's when I saw him in the classic Shanghi Lil' & The Sunluck Kid.
Though he wasn't popular in kung-fu films as most of the main stars of that period, I thought that he handled the action very well, considering he had no formal background in martial-arts. As a dramatic actor, he received numerous roles to display his acting ability. Yet, his kung-fu roles were mostly “Wrestling & Palm Strikes” -- similar to the choreography of Han Ying-Chieh’s era.

I, personally, liked he in the Shaw film Champion Of Champions, where he seemed to handle himself with the type of flair reserved for most of the top kung-fu stars of that time. He later invested his time (and money) into Producing films, along with his Silent partner - his wife. While they were at the top of their fame, they also invested their money in the Restaurant business (a lot of actors did), and reaped rewards long after they left the spotlight.
