The Chinese historical drama "Axis of Jade" starring Truong Lang Hach and Dien Hy Vi is causing a stir since it aired. In it, Truong Lang Hach with the image of a cold and infatuated martial general has "stole the hearts" of countless viewers. His tall figure and delicate, sharp face make many people "fall in love at first sight".
However, social networks are spreading some images of Truong Lang Hach from university with a completely different appearance from the present, making the audience surprised and "hard to recognize".
The photos were taken around 2017, when Truong Lang Hach still used his real name and studied electrical engineering at Nanjing Normal University.
Truong Lang Hach possessed an outstanding height of 1m9 when he went to university. But in the program "Youth Travelogue", the actor once admitted that his weight at the highest point had exceeded 100kg.
At that time, his body was so round that he lost the jawline, his face and neck were almost liền nhau, even he himself looking in the mirror was difficult to accept, even frankly saying that he "couldn't see".
Some friends of Truong Lang Hach still think that, thanks to his outstanding height, he doesn't look too overweight, his face still has impressive features such as a high nose bridge and clear eyebrows. Truong Lang Hach is still considered a "looky" male student in the school, some female students even secretly take pictures of him while eating at the canteen.
However, Truong Lang Hach was determined to lose weight after experiencing a rather embarrassing situation because his classmates did not recognize him.
The motivation to help him change his appearance also came from emotional shock. Truong Lang Hach once revealed that in his final year of high school, he liked a female classmate. At that time, the two agreed to meet again at university, but later when they connected again, he discovered that she already had a boyfriend, and even showed contempt for his appearance.
This experience made him realize the importance of appearance for relationships and self-confidence.
Thanks to applying a strict lifestyle and self-discipline, in just 4 months, he lost more than 20kg, down to about 67kg, performing an impressive "makeover".
Speaking about the weight loss process, Truong Lang Hach emphasized that he does not use extreme methods, but focuses on "controlling eating + exercising regularly".
He revealed that at that time, he almost ate simple boiled dishes every day to reduce calorie intake, while maintaining high intensity of exercise, including jogging and weightlifting.
For example, every day he runs a fixed 5km and applies the method of "wind training first, then cardio training later" to increase fat burning efficiency, both retaining muscle and consuming fat faster.
Truong Lang Hach repeatedly reminded the audience that weight loss should not be dependent on extreme fasting or taking medicine, because it can easily cause endocrine disorders, hair loss, and even weight gain again. Only controlling stable eating and maintaining exercise habits can help maintain a long-term figure.
The change in appearance also brought unexpected career opportunities for Truong Lang Hach. While studying at a coffee shop, he was discovered by a talent hunter.
After participating in the audition, he quickly won the male lead role in the historical drama "The Young Lady", marking his step into the entertainment industry.
Before becoming an actor, Truong Lang Hach originally intended to pursue an engineering career and wanted to work for the electricity industry. However, being "discovered" by the entertainment industry completely changed the direction of his life.
