After learning the news of Ceng Jiang's sudden death, many friends in the circle and artists who worked with him sent messages of condolence. Everyone has not given up his departure, I hope he will go well all the way. Maybe many people don't know Ceng Jiang. Let me give you a detailed introduction. Who's Ceng Jiang?

Ceng Jiang, a former architect, was born in a prominent family in Shanghai. His father was an overseas Chinese businessman in Vietnam, and his grandfather was the first generation of overseas students in the Qing Dynasty. Ceng Jiang lived in Shanghai in his early years and then moved to Hong Kong with his family. Ceng Jiang lived in a mansion since he was a child. He studied at the famous Hong Kong Huaren College in middle school and went to Texas in high school. In the first semester, he won the first prize and scholarship.

At that time, Ceng Jiang was admitted to many famous schools with GPA of 4.0, including MIT, Harvard University and so on. At that time, it was said that Ceng Jiang originally wanted to study medicine, but later he felt too bored. After giving up medicine, the teacher advised him to study architecture.

Because all relatives live in California, and they are afraid of the cold and want to study on the west coast of the United States, Ceng Jiang finally chose the architecture department of the University of California, Berkeley. After graduating from college, Ceng Jiang returned to Hongkong and worked as an architect for three years.

According to Ceng Jiang's own interview, because his sister Cui Lin is a famous actress, he made many friends in the entertainment circle because of her sister. He was invited to star in the film Birds in the Woods, which received great praise. Later, Ceng Jiang signed a contract with Shaw Film Company and another film company to start acting in Cantonese movies.

From filming for more than 60 years, from starring in Cantonese feature films to powerful green leaf actors in the 1960s, Ceng Jiang and Suet Nei have partnered with Hong Kong films in Cantonese films many times. He has appeared in hundreds of films, and won the Golden Globe Award of the Top Ten Stars awarded by 1969 and 1970 Overseas Chinese Evening News. It can be said that he was one of the most popular young people at that time, with infinite scenery.

Since 1970s, due to the gradual decline of Cantonese movies, Ceng Jiang joined the television industry. He has played different roles in Radio Television Hong Kong, Chiayi TV, Ricoh TV (the predecessor of Asian TV) and TVB. At the same time, he also acted in stage plays and plays.

Speaking of this impressive TV role, we have to mention the role of "Huang" in TVB 1983 version of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, which makes everyone unforgettable. Many viewers said, "There is no yellow after Ceng Jiang."

Besides acting in TV series, Ceng Jiang also played various supporting roles in Hong Kong films. He also won the Best Supporting Actor in the 34th Hong Kong Film Awards on 20 15 for his "Eavesdropping Storm". In addition, since Ceng Jiang studied in the United States and speaks fluent English, he has been invited to participate in many Hollywood blockbusters since 1998.

The advertisement of the longest-lived shampoo, a classic deeply rooted in people's hearts, impressed TV viewers the most. In addition to the role, there must be a hairdressing advertisement he shot at 1969. Because the contract did not specify the broadcast period, this advertisement was broadcast for 46 years as soon as it was broadcast, making it the longest-lived TV advertisement in Hong Kong.

So the classic dialogue in the advertisement: "Turn black slowly, and turn black immediately." Deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. However, it is understood that due to the buyout of copyright in that year, the advertisements played by Ceng Jiang for many years did not generate any income.
