陳星 CHEN SING 💪 KungFu Movie Legend

Chen Sing was born in 1936 in Bangkok, Thailand. At the age of four, he moved with his parents to Hainan, China. He studied in Wenchang, in the town of End of River, and attended high school at Haikou First High School. At age 16, he began working as a teacher at Eleven Primary School in Haiko. Later, he entered Wah Nam Agricultural University in Guangdong. After his first year of university, he fled to Hong Kong in 1958 due to persecution by communist guards and began his career in the film industry in the late 1960s. Chan Sing debuted with the Shaw Brothers studio in the film "Dead End" in 1969. In 1972, he left Shaw Brothers and landed his first major role in "The Bloody Fists." This success allowed him to obtain more prominent roles, usually as a villain, in both studio and independent productions. He was one of the pioneers of kung fu cinema. Like actors Pai Ying and Chan Hung Lit, Chan was typecast from the beginning of his career into villainous roles. His exotic Southeast Asian features, mustache, and physical strength set him apart from the softer, Eurasian-looking actors favored by the big Hong Kong studios. However, he also played a heroic undercover agent in "Tough Guy" (also known as "Kung Fu the Headcrusher") in 1972, and Japanese subversive Yasuaki Kurata in "Tiger vs. Dragon" (1972) and "Rage of the Wind" (1973). When not acting, Chen Sing was a karate instructor in the Gōjū-ryū and Goju Kai styles. Additionally, he worked as a prison police officer in Hong Kong and performed demonstrations for the Singapore police system. In the early 1990s, with the imminent transfer of Hong Kong to China, Chen Sing decided to retire from the film industry. In 1996, he moved to Vancouver and Toronto. After residing in Canada for over twenty years, Chan has spent most of his recent time in Indonesia, enjoying a different and possibly calmer environment.
