- While attending the Peking Opera he grew up with martial arts legends Lam Ching-Ying, Tai Po, Chiang Wing-Fat (aka Mars), Chung Fat and Chan Lung, among others.
- He was the first choice for the lead role in Farewell My Concubine (1993), but didn't reach a deal with the producers.
- From 2004-06 he was mostly based in China, producing period TV series or costume dramas co-starring with Chinese actresses from Hong Kong, Taiwan or Mainland China.
- In early 1997 he revealed that there was a large French financial group interested in investing in a top-rank Chinese production with the Ming Dynasty as the backdrop, which would have begun shooting the following July or August. Ang Lee was at that point in discussion as a possible director. The party was interested in investing HK $100 million to assist China in the excavation of several unopened ancient tombs and in the process make a documentary with him as the host. Both projects failed to materialize.
- In approximately October 2000 he was considered for the lead role in "The Hero Zheng Cheng Gong", a film project that Wang Tong was set to direct from a script co-written by the latter and You-Ning Lee. Japanese, Taiwanese and U.S. production companies were working together on the big-budget project, and it is estimated that $10 million was spent in pre-production. Shooting was scheduled to begin the following summer. The project, Yingxiong Zheng Chengong (2001), materialized two years later with a different cast and crew.
