Actor Zun Long’s achievements include: winning the American Chinese Museum Heritage Award in 2001; winning the 11th Capri Hollywood International Film Festival in 1997; winning the Special Award at the 26th Taiwan Golden Horse Film Awards in 1989; In 1981, he won the Best Performance Award at the 25th Obie Awards.
Zunlong was picked up on the street by his adoptive mother in 1952, probably in 1962, when Zunlong was about ten years old. In order to enable him to earn money as soon as possible to support the family, his adoptive mother sent him to the Spring and Autumn Society in Hong Kong to study Peking Opera. Around 1970, the 18-year-old Zun Long entered Los Angeles alone and was admitted to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.
After graduation, Zunlong went to Hollywood to make a living. The long career as a bit player and the extreme discrimination against Asian actors at the time did not make this boy who was born noble give up his dream. In 1976, he participated in "King Kong: The Legend Reborn", playing a Chinese chef, but because he was a supporting role, it did not cause much response.
At that stage, Zunlong, who was active in stage plays, began to show his talents in dance, composition, scripts, performances, etc., and won the Obie Award for Best Actor for two consecutive years.
In 1986, Zunlong finally proved his strength with his talent and persistence. That year the movie "Year of the Dragon" was released, and he played the domineering and charming gang leader with a graceful and unrestrained appearance. He also received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actor for this film.
