Luc Tieu Linh Dong: An alternative to the famous road thanks to the role of Sun Wukong

Although the role of Ton Ngo Khong brought fame to Luc Tieu Linh Dong, few people know that behind that success is pain and tears.

An alternate...

Luc Tieu Linh Dong's real name is Chuong Kim Lai, born in 1959 in a family with a cultural tradition of 'monkey circus'. However, at first, Luc Tieu Linh Dong was not the person his father expected to inherit the career.

In contrast, his second brother, Chuong Kim Tinh, is considered the successor to the "monkey circus" culture. Because at that time, Chuong Kim Tinh was considered a monkey circus prodigy, even his image was printed on a stamp.

But, the fate of Chuong Kim Tinh was not so lucky when he died of leukemia. Before his death, he hoped that his younger brother, Luc Tieu Linh Dong, could inherit the 'monkey circus' culture on his behalf and become the "Hou Vuong".

At this time, Luc Tieu Linh Dong was just a six-year-old child. And to fulfill his brother's will, Luc Tieu Linh Dong promised himself that he would try to be "Hou Vuong". Every day, Luc Tieu Linh Dong wakes up very early to practice. For some time, he lived with monkeys to imitate every monkey's movements.

Later, Luc Tieu Linh Dong confided: "Actually, I'm not the one who plays the outstanding American Marquis, but it's my second brother. My family has all four generations followed the acting of Hou Hi. In which, the person who most successfully embodies the image of My Hou Vuong is him."

Famous role

It was not until 1982, when director Duong Khiet was preparing to film Journey to the West, the talented female director visited many famous opera artists and finally came to Chuong Kim Tinh. However, he passed away. At this time, Luc Tieu Linh Dong's father also nominated him.

Initially, director Duong Khiet did not think that Luc Tieu Linh Dong was the best candidate for the role of Sun Wukong. "From the body to the gesture, I don't see any similarities with the character Wukong," said Duong Khiet.

But, after a conversation with Luc Tieu Linh Dong, Duong Khiet said that although the actor's performance was still lacking a bit of energy, his movements were correct and accurate. Therefore, Luc Tieu Linh Dong had the opportunity to advance to this role.

In the summer of 1983, Luc Tieu Linh Dong began filming Journey to the West , and filming progressed very smoothly.

With the help of his father, the six-year-old boy who had not understood anything about "Hou Vuong" after 17 years also became "Hou Vuong".

Luc Tieu Linh Dong's acting success is the result of his many years of practice. Every day, he watched the sunrise and sunset, watched the ping pong ball, and at night looked at the incense burner, the brazier to practice the image of the character's god eyes.

After its broadcast, the drama "Journey to the West" created a fever all over Asia. The role of Sun Wukong helped Luc Tieu Linh Dong win the Best Actor award and twice topped the chart of the top 10 favorite film and television actors in China.

Beautiful love story...

Also thanks to the movie Journey to the West , Luc Tieu Linh Dong found the woman of his life - Vu Hong. At this time, Luc Tieu Linh Dong played the role of Sun Wukong and Vu Hong was the studio secretary.

The person who bridges this beautiful relationship is none other than Tru Bat Gioi - Ma Duc Chung. However, at this stage, the two did not dare to film publicly for fear of being scolded by director Duong Khiet because both were still in the filming stage.

After a time of secretly falling in love, until 1985 when Luc Tieu Linh Dong had a serious accident and had to take 3 months of convalescence, at that time Vu Hong kept going back and forth between the set and the hospital to take care of the actor.

Touched by his lover's heart, Ton Ngo Khong decided to announce to everyone that he and Vu Hong were in love. The love story of the two received much support and blessings from the crew members.

In 1988, Luc Tieu Linh Dong and Vu Hong decided to get married. But, fate ironically when the plan could not be carried out because of that period, Luc Tieu Linh Dong was urgently assigned to Singapore to promote Journey to the West . The bride and groom are thousands of kilometers apart, some in Beijing, some in Singapore on what should have been a big wedding day.

After the wedding was not complete that year, up to now, although it has been more than 30 years, the two have not been able to hold an official wedding once. However, that did not affect the feelings of the two. Luc Tieu Linh Dong still loves his wife as at the beginning.
