Biography
Da Peng (Dong Chengpeng) is a Chinese host, comedian, actor, and filmmaker known for grassroots-style comedy. Born January 12, 1982, he began his career at Sohu in 2004, hosting and producing web-based talk shows. In 2010, he became the 53rd disciple of Zhao Benshan, a significant lineage in Chinese comedy. His 2012 web show Da Peng Debade drew international attention when Conan O'Brien alleged it copied Conan's opening animation, marking a turning point in his profile. That same year, Da Peng transitioned from hosting to acting and directing through the Knallerfrauen-inspired web series Diors Man (2012–2015), which built his internet following. His feature-film directorial debut Pancake Man (2015) proved successful, prompting him to shift entirely to cinema and resign from Sohu in 2018. Notable directorial credits include City of Rock (2017), A Final Reunion (2018)—which won the 55th Golden Horse Award for Best Live Action Short Film and was later expanded into The Reunions (2020)—One and Only (2023), and The Lychee Road (2025), many featuring him as actor. He has also appeared in Johnny Keep Walking! (2023) and Dust to Dust (2023). As a Capricorn born in 1982, Da Peng embodies the sign's disciplined ambition; his Life Path 6 reflects a creative sensibility rooted in service and storytelling [F1, enrichments]. Screenwriters and actors navigate dual demands of craft and collaboration, roles Da Peng has mastered across platforms—from web to festival stages.
