Thuy Hu is a familiar name for those who love martial arts novels. Completely different from other genres of swordplay, fairy tales and historical elements that help Thuy Hu make a deep impression in people's hearts.

Many actors have devoted almost all of their top acting to the work of Water Margin. Later, when viewers saw the actor Dinh Hai Phong, they immediately remembered the character Vo Tong, and when they saw Ly Cuong, they would think of Lam Chong.

In 2011, the movie "New Water Margin" was remade by Cuc Giac Luong with the participation of a star cast of actors from Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. The series first aired on HD Jade in May 2011 in Hong Kong.

Surely, fans of the TV series Tan Thuy Hu will not be able to forget the image of Lo Tri Tham uprooting the willow tree at Tran Quoc Pagoda and causing a lot of controversy by creating tattoos that are no different from gangsters. Although the film crew later spoke up, citing the original Thuy Huu, which clearly described 7 tattooed characters.

However, Tan Tung's image of Lu Tri Tham is still well received by the public and is considered to be the closest image to the hero Luong Son Bac prototype in the original.

But perhaps if Lu Tri Tham is real in real life, he must also respect the actor Tan Tung who played his role because of his talent and muscle level no less than the original character.

Before turning to cinema, film actor and swimmer Tan Tung was a 32-time swimming champion who won gold medals in his competitive career.
