Biography

Bolo Yeung's remarkable journey began in China, where he embarked on his martial arts training at the tender age of 10. As he grew older, his interest in bodybuilding only intensified, and he went on to become the Mr. Hong Kong bodybuilding champion, a title he held for an impressive decade. His incredible physique earned him the nickname "Chinese Hercules," and he soon found himself in high demand for various movie roles, typically playing the part of the villain due to his imposing physique.

It was his collaboration with the legendary Bruce Lee in the 1973 film "Enter the Dragon" that marked a significant turning point in his career, as he played the role of 'Bolo' alongside the martial arts icon. The two developed a close friendship that would last a lifetime.
