In recent years, he has been busy with work after returning to the entertainment industry, and his health condition Not as good as in his prime, he suffered an acute myocardial infarction in September last year due to poor control of his physical condition. However, despite his frail health, he used his strong willpower to recuperate his body and complete the filming of the film at the same time.

Zhu Geliang said that the filming rhythm is tight, the mood is easy to be nervous, and more energy is required. Often the first shot is not good. When he improvises the script the second time, the director thinks the idea is good, and In order to make the effect better and the action more accurate, the same scene often needs to be shot repeatedly. In my memory, there was a scene in the wet market where I walked back and forth a total of 12 times and fell into a coma due to exhaustion on the spot; another scene where I was practicing kung fu on the top floor of *** in Taipei City was also affected by the hot weather that day. The wind was so strong that not only the body and eyes of co-star Yang Youning were covered with sand, but his own eyes were also damaged by the sand and could not open.

If you are an elderly person, you should not exercise too intensely. You can choose a more gentle walk or swim for 20 to 30 minutes a day to maintain good health.
