Cheng Miu


AKA Ching Mao, Tsen Miao.
Character actor who shows up in supporting roles in dozens of Shaw Brothers films, mostly as kind and slightly clueless older gentlemen. One of the studio’s most familiar faces.

Crippled Avengers (1978):
Plays Li Jing-Ying, the master of Eagle House, who takes in the men who have been maimed by Du Tian-Dao (Chen Kuan-Tai) and turns them into the titular Avengers.

Clan of the White Lotus (1980):
Plays the nameless owner of the factory where Nai-Cheng (Lam Fai-Wong) and Hung Wei-Ting (Gordon Liu) work. Turns out to be a revolutionary whose acupuncture skills save Wei-Ting after a particularly brutal beating by the White Lotus (Lo Lieh).
