In addition, the role of Rifle he created in "Nine Pin Sesame Officer" is also difficult to forget, which may be a role that can completely weaken the influence of the army.
Cheng Dong's best role is in Stephen Chow's works, and his biggest opponent on the screen is Andy Lau, who opposes Hua Tsai in many works. In addition to "Dragon in Prison", there are also classics such as "The Killer's Fairy Tale", "Dance with the Dragon", "Casino Tycoon 2" and so on. Now Cheng Dong will also star in some TV movies, but his best role is still Dajun, which is still fresh in people's memories.
2. Zhu Sheng: Cheng Kui'an
