The actor from 'Judge Bao' once acted in adult films to pay off his debts.

Yang Hung, who played Zhang Long in the famous quartet "Wang Chao - Ma Han - Zhang Long - Zhao Hu," once fell into poverty.

According to Sina, Taiwanese media recently reported on the life of actor Yang Xiong. Sources say Yang Xiong suffered business losses, causing his family to fall into financial difficulties and debt.

In a news report, Yang Hung recounted that his fee for each episode of Bao Thanh Tian was approximately 15,000 yuan (nearly 50 million VND at the current exchange rate). He also earned additional income from weekend events where the film crew interacted with the audience. On average, he earned about 8 million yuan (over 26 billion VND at the current exchange rate) per year.

Later, the actor invested in a gym but lost money. His family of five had to live in a house of just over 10 square meters; even the beds for his daughters had to be made by him. Finally, Duong Hung had to choose to act in adult films. Acting in more than 10 "pornographic films" a year helped him gradually pay off his debts.

Encouraged by his wife, he turned to politics. Yang Hung was a representative in the 8th National People's Congress of New Taipei City, Taiwan. He is currently the village head of Dongnan Village, Zhonghua District, New Taipei City.

Yang Hung, whose real name is Yang Zonghan, left a lasting impression on audiences with his portrayal of Zhang Long in the 1993 television series Bao Thanh Tian. After this series, he did not have any other notable roles and gradually distanced himself from acting.
