Kwan Chung (traditional Chinese: 關聰; simplified Chinese: 关聪; pinyin: Guān Cōng, born 10 October 1953) is a former Hong Kong film and television actor. He is known for his role as Mo-fa in the Television series Chor Lau-heung. But he now resides in Taiwan living a regular life.[1]
Early Life[edit]
Kwan Chung was born in Guangzhou and grew up there, while his father Kwan Hoi-san developed in Hong Kong as a Cantonese opera master, but also a well-known actor. Kwan Chung is the youngest son of Kwan Hoi-san and his second wife. Although Guan Cong has the father of a big man, the relationship between father and son is not as good as the outside world imagines because Guan Haishan has four wives and many children. Because his father did not apply for him to live in Hong Kong, he went to Hong Kong on his own and joined the wireless art training class in the early 1970s.[1]
Career[edit]
Guan Cong's came to fame without the help of his father. He started his acting career in TVB. With his role as Mo-fa in Chor Lau-heung, he became famous not only in Hong Kong, but later Taiwan introduced this work, and he became popular again Taiwan, in the early 1980s, was invited to film in Taiwan, and he was in the limelight for a while. To this day, he still promotes Mo-fa as a signboard in the streets of Taiwan. After playing Monk Wuhua became popular, Guan Cong's development path in Southeast Asia was broadened, and he had more opportunities to appear on stage.[1]
Personal Life[edit]
After Guan Cong ended his partnership with TVB in 1983, he moved to Taiwan for development. However, he did not shoot too many works in Taiwan. On the contrary, he liked life in Taiwan very much, so he lived there for a long time. In 1986, Guan Cong started doing business in Taiwan, he opened a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant, did a jewelry business, and opened a martial arts gym to teach people Kung Fu. Although these businesses ended in failure due to various reasons. But none of them affected Guan Cong's idea of continuing to live in Taiwan.
In fact, when Guan Cong was working hard in Taiwan, he encountered great setbacks. Guan Cong is not a person who cares much about gains and losses, so he can quickly adjust his mentality, including after Guan Haishan passed away, the family fought for property. At that time, Guan Cong was the only member who did not participate in the family property struggle. He didn't participate, didn't express his opinion, didn't fight or grab, and when the matter subsided, he returned to his ordinary life.
With Guan Cong's popularity, he will come back again, especially to perform in Hong Kong and the Mainland, there are many opportunities, but in the end he still chooses to live and work in Taiwan, except for charity performances, he rarely shows his face on weekdays. [1]
Zeng Baoyi interviewed Guan Cong in Taipei for his show Hongkongers in Taiwan. He revealed that he was cheated of more than 20 million NT dollars (about 5.2 million Hong Kong dollars). He was so desperate that he had to rely on alcohol to numb himself, and he survived later, relying on charity performances to constantly let himself feel relieved. Now Guan Cong is still XO sauce on the street. Guan Cong's explanation for this is that selling XO sauce is his own interest, not because he is out of luck. He has been researching and making XO sauce for 20 years, so he hopes to share it with everyone. Setting up street stalls is not for living, but purely for fun. He bluntly said that many people help him just to take photos with him. On the contrary, he uses photos with the public to attract business. He thinks it's very interesting to do this, but if everyone insists on thinking that he is downcast, he doesn't care, and he doesn't bother to care about it too much at this age. Guan Cong said frankly that life in Taipei is very comfortable now, he practices Qigong and plays mahjong when he has time, this is the life he wants to live. He has a longtime girlfriend but remains unmarried because he likes the freedom.[2]
