　　Hong Kong comedian Sun Xing said he came to Shanghai to work for “his wife”. In fact, he came here to make new TV serials (连续剧).“People working with me are likely (可能的) to have a stomachache, for I am able to please them so much that they forget to eat.”Sun joked.

　　Sun has played the role of Master Shen in the TV serials“Fairly Wife”, and many Shanghainese have since known and liked him. Instead of giving his own name, he had Master Shen printed on name-card together with a cartoon of himself: a smiling face with dark glasses and very short hair.

　　Though he is a Hong Kong citizen, Sun is able to speak perfect putonghua. Born and brought up in Beijing, he moved to Hong Kong at ten. In 1986, he came out of 3,600 contestants (竞争者) in the competition for“Mr. TV” held by Hong Kong's Asian TV station. In recent years, Sun is living and trying to develop in Taiwan.

　　According to Sun, his understanding of stages performance comes from ten-year-long experience in work and life, though he has had no regular training in acting.“Life is hard for me. I have worked as a porter, waiter, postman, salesman.”Sun recalled.“At the age of 14, I was employed as an office boy in my mother's factory.” Once he was hurt by sulfuric acid (硫酸), but he showed no sign of pain, because he did not want to worry his mother. Having tasted various hardships, Sun learned how to find happiness in life.

　　Sun is not good-looking, but he is able to make all kinds of funny movements in front of the camera. That's why all directors agree that he is very special.

　　After the return of Hong Kong to the motherland, Sun planned to develop his stage work more in the mainland. Not long ago, He got in touch with Qiong Yao, a well-known Taiwan writer, to make a TV program for the mainland. Besides, he has joined hands with famous actors and actress in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland to wait for more TV plays.
