Biography
This excellent little acrobat, was a sight to see (when he's allowed to do his thing) and was very agile. He's (usually) hidden under make-up and almost always on the wrong side of the law. In the film The Fighting Ace he helped John Liu get in shape, so that he could take revenge for the murder of his parents. He played the master of the "Swallow-Boxing" style and father to the fierce Liu Hao-Yi, in the excellent Cute Foster Sister. He held his own against film veteran Lung Fei (who never looked better) and gave both of them, intriguing roles.
He's shown the type of skills, that could rival some of kung-fu's best acrobats. His pipe-fighting skills, looked as though he could have given Chen Wai-Lau hell. Normally, playing 3rd-rate villains in most of the films he plays, he's usually killed off early, if just to help spice up the story. In The Deadly Strike, he played part of a duo (dressed in leopard-skin clothes), that was to stop Bruce Li from his mission. You could find him in films like The Gold Snatchers or Shaolin King Boxer, blending into the background (before getting killed) or adding another dimension to the film, with his acrobatic skills.
