Chinese showbiz has just received sad news when veteran actor Chu Long Quang - famous for his role as Nhu Lai Buddha in the 1986 version of "Tay Du Ky" - passed away on August 2 due to a serious illness, at the age of 86.
His funeral was solemnly held on August 6, at Bat Bao Son cemetery, Beijing with the participation of many artists and fans.
The solemn funeral atmosphere, the wreath covered and the large number of visitors expressed deep condolences for the passing of a veteran artist.
Many actors who participated in "Tay Du Ky" - a film associated with the name Chu Long Quang - were present to see him off for the last time such as Luc Tieu Linh Dong (as Ton Ngo Khong), Vuong Ba Chieu (as Bach Long Ma). In particular, Ma Duc Hoa (as Tru Bat Gioi) could not attend but sent a wreath of condolences.
At the funeral, Luc Tieu Linh Dong emotionally recounted the last time he met Chu Long Quang two years ago when he was already weak, having to play the role of a co-star to step up the stairs.
Despite his declining health, Chu Long Quang is still alert, cheerful and approachable.
In our hearts, you have been an idol since your youth, Luc Tieu Linh Dong said chokingly.
Possessing a gentle face and an outstanding height of 1.82m, Chu Long Quang often plays the role of a straightforward person. In his more than 50-year career, he has left many impressive roles and a deep impression on the audience.
