Biography
He was regarded as the "Pretty Boy" of his Opera School, but we will always remember him as, the kid Bruce Lee gave the Kicking lesson to, in Enter The Dragon. He can be seen in a few (earlier) Shaw films such as The Thunderbolt Fist and Executioners From Shaolin. He, later, had a lead role in Journey Of The Doomed, before working with Samo Hung on Incredible Kung Fu Master and striking out on his own, in action-packed, 18 Fatal Strikes and The Killer In White.
In Mar's Villa, we see that those kicking lessons really paid off, because his kicks looked just as good as John Liu's. He started working more behind the scenes (Choreography) and gave fans a slew of intersting and intriguing films. He also appeared in John Woo's best Hong Kong action film to date, Hard-Boiled, as Chow Yun-Fat's informant. Later on, he became a Director in his own right, directing such films as the highly acclaimed, Magic Cop and The Hitman, with Jet Li. One of my favorites, was the fast-paced Pom Pom & Hot Hot, working with his former classmates Lam Ching-Ying and Hui Tien-Chi.

He has also won numerous awards for Choreography, working with some of the best names in Asian Cinema. To his credit, he is an excellent stuntman with great acrobatic skills. Some of his fellow classmates were Meng Hoi, Chien Yueh-Sheng, and Chung Fat. With talented friends like that, it's easy to see how his skills stayed so sharp. He is one of a few men who've paid his dues in a "cut-throat" industry, while making a name for himself, when others had easily given up. Like so many others who’ve gone through the Peking Opera system, he has passed with flying colors - scoring an unprecedented (4) Golden Horses (for Martial-arts Choreography). I’m sure, even Bruce would be proud.
