Liu Jiahui

essential information

Early experience

Liu Zhan, the father of Liu Jialiang and Liu Jiarong, was adopted by Liu Jiahui when he was young. Because Liu Zhan was a disciple of Lin Shirong, a famous Hongquan master (who learned from Huang Feihong), Liu Jiahui began to accept strict orthodox martial arts training when he was 8 years old. In 1971, after graduating from high school, Liu Jiahui worked as an office assistant in a Japanese company. Later, he was introduced by a friend to Lane Crawford as an accountant with a monthly salary of 500 yuan. During this period, he continued to work as a teaching assistant in the martial arts school to help teach younger martial arts students. His life as an ordinary white-collar worker lasted for two years. One day, Liu Jialiang, a teacher and friend, invited him to shoot a film directed by him. Out of respect for each other, he agreed without saying a word.

Acting experience

In 1973, Liu Jiahui entered the film circle with his first action film "out of the siege", which was funded by Liu Jialiang. Although the stars were Li Linlin, Qin Pei and others, the box office was not good and the response was mediocre. Later, he went to Taiwan with Liu Jialiang and was introduced to Chang Che's sister company, Changgong film company. He signed a contract with the company for three years and served as dragon and tiger martial arts teacher and martial arts director (Liang Jiaren and Lu Jianming in the same period). Because Zhang Che has Jiang Davide, Dilong and others, he has never had the opportunity to play an important role. In 1976, Liu Jiahui returned to Hong Kong after about three years of working with Changgong film, and played the leading role in Lu achai and Huang Feihong for the second time, directed by his elder brother Liu Jialiang. However, this did not make him a success. In 1978, he co starred with Luo lie, Wang Yu and Xu Shaoqiang in the action movie "thirty six rooms of Shaolin", which was released in Hong Kong. This film is not only one of the top ten blockbusters in Hong Kong that year, but also has a good response abroad. Some even set up a film club for Liu Jiahui in Japan. Liu Jiahui is also known as "Oriental yur bolena" by foreign media for this play. In 1980, Liu Jiahui, who starred in the sequel of the action movie "Shaolin 36 room", no longer played the role of monk Sande, but showed off his wit and humor as Zhou Renjie.

In 1987, kung fu films declined, and Shao's company also announced that it would stop shooting films. Liu Jiahui's development was not going well, and he only played supporting roles or villains in films. So he decided to transform to Taiwan's TV industry, where he mainly made costume films. In 1988, Liu Jiahui returned to Hong Kong for development. He and Xu Shaoqiang set up their own film company "attraction" and made four or five films. Finally, the cooperation ended because there was no development prospect. In 1989, Liu Jiahui was invited to join TVB. He changed from a big screen star to a small screen artist. Since then, he has devoted himself to the development of TV industry. In 1990, Liu Jiahui took over the ancient costume martial arts drama "mantis boy", in which he and Luo Mang, who are also martial arts practitioners, staged many fights.

At that time, Liu Jiahui and Wang Yu's twin partners supported most of Liu's class and became Shao's two most dazzling stars.

Although Liu Jiahui often played supporting roles after his middle age, he was a front-line martial arts star in the 1970s and 1980s. (Phoenix Online Review)
