Huang Yuanshen’s personal life

1. Marriage and family: In 1975, Huang Yuanshen and Taiwanese movie star Shi Qianyu were registered in Hong Kong and later went to Taiwan to get a notarized marriage. On September 13, 1976, Huang Yuanshen's son was born and named Huang Jiliang.

On September 16, 1980, she gave birth to a daughter named Huang Jili. In 1987, Huang Yuanshen, his wife, and children immigrated to the United States to reunite with his parents who settled in the United States. During this period, Huang Yuanshen returned to school to study English, and was arranged by the school to start in the third grade. Within a few months, he skipped three grades in a row and completed the school's six-year course.

2. Religious belief: Although in movie plots, disciples who become monks are often seen as being frustrated by feelings, career or money before they decide to become monks. But Huang Yuanshen met Lin Guoxiong, who converted to Buddhism, because of the filming of "Border Town Dragon and Tiger Fight" in 1984.

I accidentally came into contact with Buddhist principles and gained an understanding of Buddhism. Under the guidance of Lin Guoxiong, I understood the theoretical essence of Buddhism and gained a different outlook on the world and life. From then on, Huang Yuanshen began to believe in Buddhism, practice fasting, and eat vegetarian food with his wife and children.

3. Ordained and became a monk: In 1989, the film and television star Huang Yuan-shen turned down nearly ten film, television and video contracts, resolutely retired from the film and television industry, and abandoned the prosperous Buddhist path. After consultation with his wife and children, he came to Po Lam Temple on Lantau Island in Hong Kong to convert to Buddhism, devote himself to practicing Taoism, study Buddhism, and seek the true meaning of life.

4. Return to the mortal world: At that time, "The Hero Fearless" starring Huang Yuanshen once fascinated mainland TV audiences. On December 19, 2006, at the Huo Yuanjia 25th anniversary gathering, the media broke the news that Huang Yuanshen, who had escaped into Buddhism, returned to the United States in 2005. Although he left the temple, Huang Yuanshen still maintained the habit of a monk for more than ten years and rarely appeared in public.

He went to Hong Kong with his parents the following year, and his family lived in Kowloon. Tiu Keng Ling. When he was young, his family was poor. In the difficult life, he took on the responsibility of the family prematurely. He single-handedly raised five younger siblings and developed an independent and family-oriented character. At the age of twelve, in order to strengthen his body, he began to learn martial arts from a master. Due to his hard work and cleverness, he developed excellent martial arts.

Wong Yuen-shen studied at Ling Middle School and Maude Secondary School, and graduated from Matteo Ricci English College in Hong Kong. When Huang Yuanshen was a teenager, in order to help pay for tuition and book fees, he worked summer jobs here and there every summer. Until he completed his preparatory studies, he was admitted to the Department of Civil Engineering at a Canadian University and the Department of Engineering at New York University. However, he was unable to do so due to his family's financial constraints. My biggest wish is to study abroad and officially enter social work.
