Sihung Lung
Sihung Lung (Chinese: 郎雄, Pinyin: Láng Xíong, Wade–Giles: Lang Hsiung; c. 1930 – May 2, 2002) was an actor in the cinema of Taiwan who appeared in over 100 films and was best known for playing paternal roles in films including ''Eat Drink Man Woman'' and ''The Wedding Banquet''. He frequently collaborated with award-winning director Ang Lee, notably cast in films such as ''Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'' and ''Pushing Hands''.
Lung enlisted in Chiang Kai-shek's army as a teenager to fight the Chinese Communist Party. After they seized control of mainland China, he escaped to Taiwan, where he was selected to join an army-sponsored acting troupe. Acting later became his career. His experience playing an array of roles for the army troupe later led his being cast in over 100 Chinese-language films and in Taiwanese soap operas, typically playing criminals or tough guys.
He had already retired from films when Ang Lee began casting for his first full-length film, 1992's ''Pushing Hands,'' and the director, who recalled watching Mr. Lung as a child, asked him to play a father in the film. Lung's sensitive portrayal of an elderly man faced with change turned him into an international star and he became famous for playing fathers struggling with modernity and adult children in the movies known to some fans as the ''Father Knows Best'' trilogy.〔(Biographical information in New York Times article )〕
By the time he appeared as "Sir Te," guardian of a mystical sword in ''Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'', Lung's health had deteriorated due to diabetes. He died of liver failure in 2002 at the age of 72.〔(Obituary in The New York Times )〕
