Biography
Some say, the crown for the best Acrobat in Taiwan, goes to this man. He could do (14) whip-back somersaults consecutively, which is very hard to do, considering that most gymnasts can only do (4 - 5) consecutively (is a feat in itself). He can be seen at the beginning of Secret Of The Shaolin Poles, where these flips are utilized against Meng Fei. He was one of the genre's top acrobats. This tiny dynamo is a poor man's version of Wong Yu, whom he favors and could pass for his brother. Though, their comedy is somewhat different (his borders on the obnoxious) -- yet, he is still somehow, entertaining.
The Bone-Crushing Kid, gave him ample time to strut his stuff and he did a pretty good job. He got to show us, some of those mind-boggling somersaults -- in what would be, his only hit. He was (often) paired with someone, who has more skills than him, like John Liu (Struggle Thru Death), who could carry a film (pass the comedy). When he wasn’t playing in any standout roles, you could find him (if you look hard enough), playing an "extra" and displaying exceptional tumbling skills.

In The Leg Fighters, he was the comedic foil to super-kickers Tan Tao-Liang and the lovely Hsia Kuan-Li. Though the comedy was overdone, the fighting, more than made up for it. In the film Bandits, Prostitutes, & Silver, he was given almost nothing to do and if you blinked, you (probably) would have missed him. Yet, he had a nice cameo in the film, Ninja In The Dragon's Den. Here, he showed what he was capable of, but (as always) he could have used more screen-time. Like some many others, he was caught-up during the Kung Fu Comedy" phase, where everything was done for a laugh (not exploiting his true talents). It seemed that he [like so many others] was used to make the films' star shine and then, fade into the background.
