Hong KongBiography
He grew up at the China Drama Academy, a Peking opera school where acrobatics, weapons and stage combat were drilled from the age of seven — not martial art in the classical sense. He later earned a hapkido black belt. His screen style rests on environment and timing rather than power; he performed his own stunts for decades and carries lasting injuries from them.
