Human Pork Bun
The following may not be considered a biography or even remotely possible representation of Mr. Anthony Wong Chau Sang. It is just an admiration made by the author of this blog in salutation to his idol.
If you are a fan to a certain actor, you might understand what this feeling I have right now. Here, this post, will be dedicated to one of the best (from my point of view) actor from the Hong Kong cinema, he is none other the human pork bun maker himself, Anthony Wong Chau Sang.
Born to a English father and a Chinese mother, both mother and son were abandoned by the father when Wong was only 4 years old, prompting Anthony to use his mother's Chinese surname; Wong. He began his acting career by joining ATV's training program and attended the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts.
Well first of all, the only movie that caught my attention and love for Anthony was his show entitled The Untold Story. In this movie, he played a real life killer who make human pork buns with his victims making that word in Chinese rather famous till today; if and only if you ever meet people of uses the term. The movie won Anthony best actor back in 1993 at the Hong Kong Film Awards, of which shot him to stardom. Besides that, he won another best actor in the 1998 film Beast Cops. Worthy of note, currently he do not play any lead role in any film but as a supporting actor, most noteworthy Infernal Affairs and Initial D, which he won best supporting actor.
Before what I watched today, it is surprising that Anthony doesn't really get to show his martial arts skills though he is rather skilled in the monkey style kung fu. This however changes my whole perspective, I watched a drama series entitled 8 Swordsmen; Anthony played the role of a chief police of a county during the imperial China eras. Happy I am, finally I get to see some kung fu by him, I feel like a little kid once more (and it is great).
By the way, along with Lau Ching Wan and Francis Ng Chun Yu, he was named as one of the major three character actors working in the Hong Kong film industry at the 25th Hong Kong International Film Festival. For your information, all 3 appeared approximately 10 minutes together in the opening of Wong Jing’s Colour of the Truth, a feature that I desire to happen again.
