Recently, 62-year-old Hong Kong actor Kong Wah has been working at a scenic spot in Guangdong, reprising his classic role from the TVB drama "The Legendary Emperor." He interacts closely with tourists, singing, dancing, and offering blessings to visitors.
Portraying "Emperor Yongzheng" once again, he maintains his commanding presence and keeps his physique as agile as in his younger days.
Previously, in an interview, Kong Wah discussed TVB's clique culture, frankly stating that TVB's biggest failure was its clique mentality and lack of talent appreciation, which prevented him from participating in major productions at that time. He mentioned that it's unlikely he will return to acting now.
According to records, Kong Wah was born on November 19, 1962, in Hong Kong. He is a Hong Kong actor and singer. In 1985, he joined the Asia Television artist training program and signed with ATV after graduation. His notable works include "I Have a Date with Spring," TVB's "Journey to the West," "A Step Into the Past," "Sword of Blood and Honour," "The Legendary Emperor," "The Conqueror's Story," and "The Red Dust Trio."
Reports indicate that multiple artists have found re-employment at scenic spots this year. 70-year-old Kou Zhenhai has taken on singing and dancing performances at entertainment venues; 56-year-old Carina Lau appeared in a red dress recreating her cat demon character; 63-year-old Vincent Jiao continued performing despite fainting from heatstroke while wearing heavy costumes in hot weather; 79-year-old Law Kar-ying recreated his classic character from "A Chinese Odyssey" with his signature bald look and monk robes at scenic spots; and Zheng Guolin, currently the most active "scenic spot artist," has been thoroughly enjoying his "imperial addiction" over recent months, having more fun than the tourists themselves.
