Chiang Sheng


AKA Kong Sang, Chao Gang Sheng, Chiu Gong Sang
A member of the Venom Mob, and my own favorite Venom. He had a baby face, was the most incredible athlete in a very athletic bunch, and brought a certain exuberance to his starring roles that made every movie a little more fun.

Crippled Avengers (1978):
Plays Wang Yi, the knight who attacks Tian Dao Mansion to stop Du Tian-Dao (Chen Kuan-Tai) maiming anyone else, and gets turned into an “idiot” for his trouble.
Life Gamble (1979):
Plays Xiao Tang, the Deadly Whip, who helps Xiao Qiang (Lin Chen-Chi) cut off Yan Zi-Fei’s (Ku Feng’s) hand before being seduced and murdered by Peng Shuang-Shuang (Shirley Yu).
Life Gamble

The Flag Of Iron (1980):
Plays Yuan Lang, the Iron Monkey. Member of the Iron Clan, friend of Luo Xin (Philip Kwok). Has never trusted Cao Feng (Lu Feng). Finds Luo and warns him about the assassins that are after him, and tells him that Cao has turned out to be corrupt and might have killed their master (Liang Yao-Wen).
The Sword Stained With Royal Blood (1981):
Plays Wen Jing, most prominent member of Qing-Qing’s (Candy Wen’s) family and the first we meet (though he’s her cousin, at that point he is claiming to be her brother). He’s a villain, but is portrayed in a not entirely unsympathetic light, in contrast with the rest of the family. Also, seems to have a crush on Qing-Qing and to be irritated by her feelings for Yuan Cheng-Chih (Philip Kwok). In combat with Yuan, both friendly sparring and as a member of the Five Elements Array, he uses a pair of hooked swords (shuang gou).
