Old Hong Kong movie fans may be a little sad. How could the perfect policeman and the most handsome Flying Tigers instructor on the big screen in the past "fall" like this?
1. Falling in love with movies and finding a sense of identity
Wang Minde was born in Troy, USA. His father is Chinese and his mother is French-Dutch. He lived in the United States until he was 18 years old.
In the United States, his mixed-race identity caused him to be excluded and discriminated against. In the eyes of the Chinese, he was a foreign devil, and Americans regarded him as an Asian.

In 1996, he once again teamed up with Chen Jiashang to star in "Flying Tigers". His character Wang Dong, the captain of the Flying Tigers, was the absolute protagonist in the film.
Compared with "Flying Tiger Ambition" which focuses on storytelling, Chan Ka-shang's realism in this film is stronger, and he is making a commercial action film from the standpoint of the Hong Kong police force.
The policeman played by Minde Wong is more life-like and different from the local policemen in Hong Kong movies.
His character is both wise and brave, but also a little more gentle and loose.

is like the "Flying Tiger and Lion" series, but it is a pity that it is difficult to have high-quality products.

2, the handsome villain, started from "You think I am a born killer"
in "Eavesdropping", which was released in 2009 and was co-directed by Mak Siu-fai and Chong Man-keung.

There is almost no need to act the role. The appearance and personal temperament alone give people the feeling of being an unfathomable boss.

Different from the private helicopter license, Wang Minde can be paid commercially and is a "star pilot".
Not only that, he is also the honorary officer of the Hong Kong Aviation Youth Corps, with the rank of captain.
Wang Minde’s biggest hobby is golf. He once scored a birdie score of 71, which once gave him the satisfaction of a professional golfer.
