Dragon Square
Lung Fong, born Lee Kin Man[1][2], was a late Hong Kong film actor who grew up in Tainan City, Taiwan[3]. Known for his villainous roles, he rose to fame for his performance in *God of Gamblers*, earning him numerous villain roles and the nickname "King of Villains" in Hong Kong cinema.
Career
1970s
Lung began his career as a contract actor but faced strong competition from other martial artists such as Leung Kar Yan and Gordon Liu, which hindered his career progress.
1980s
After filming *Dangerous Person* and *Who Is He* in 1981, he transitioned to working as a manager at the restaurant Tian Tian Yu Gang. Due to lack of martial arts practice and body changes, he was no longer suitable for stunt roles. At the end of the 1980s, director Wong Jing, in need of a villain actor, invited Lung through a friend to star in *Casino Raiders*. He then frequently played villain roles. His performance in *God of Gamblers* made him widely recognized as the "King of Villains," leading to more film offers and his return to acting full-time.
1990s
Lung divorced in the early 1990s. His ex-wife and daughter later moved to the United States.
2000s
Lung’s final film was *The Tricky Master 3*, after which his health deteriorated, showing symptoms such as persistent coughing. He passed away on November 14, 2008, in a hospital in Chang'an District, Xi'an. According to Zhou Xing, general manager of the Carnival Star Entertainment Company in Shenzhen, Lung was diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer in May 2008 in Hong Kong. Despite receiving treatment, he succumbed to the illness. His sudden passing meant his family did not see him one last time. His funeral arrangements were handled by friends.
