Biography
Vincent Zhao Wenzhuo emerged as a wushu champion before becoming one of Chinese cinema's most recognizable martial-arts leads. Born 10 April 1972 in China, he trained extensively in tongbeiquan and tai chi—particularly the Chen and Yang styles—at Beijing Sport University, accumulating national wushu titles. Spotted by Hong Kong director Corey Yuen, Zhao debuted as the antagonist in Fong Sai-yuk in 1993, then ascended to leading roles across Hong Kong and Chinese productions.
He is best known for portraying Wong Fei-hung in Once Upon a Time in China IV and its 1994 sequel, the Wong Fei Hung television series (1995–1996), and Kung Fu League in 2018. Beyond Wong Fei-hung, Zhao took on historical and martial roles: Zheng Chenggong in The Sino-Dutch War 1661, So Chan in True Legend, and Qi Jiguang in God of War. Dramatic leads followed—Zhao Shuo in Sacrifice and appearances in Hero of the Times, Huo Yuanjia, and Drunken Hero spanning television. He made his directorial debut with Counter Attack in 2021. As an Aries born in early April, Zhao embodies the sign's directness and physical courage, traits evident in his combat choreography and willingness to carry entire action franchises. Actors perform live, record dramatic scenes, and undergo extensive physical preparation for roles—disciplines Zhao has mastered across three decades. Chinese cinema has long celebrated martial-arts authenticity; Zhao's wushu foundation distinguishes him from purely theatrical action performers.
