Fu-sheng has made 43 films throughout his career from age 17 to 28, 23 of these which are Shaw Brothers productions including classics like ''The Avenging Eagle'', ''Legendary Weapons of China'', ''The Brave Archer'' trilogy, ''My Rebellious Son'', ''Chinatown Kid'' and several other films. Fu's snarky, semi-comedic persona in the roles he portray would inspire future icons like Creator/JackieChan as a template to follow during the kung fu comedy boom of the late 1970s.

Much like in his movies, Fu-sheng in real life was a friendly easygoing fellow, despite his upbringing in a rich family, being the favoured pupil of one of Hong Kong's top directors, and achieving fame at young age.

Alexander Fu Sheng (born 张富声, Cheung Fu-sheng on October 20th, 1954, Hong Kong) is an actor, stuntman, martial artist and former alumni of Creator/ShawBrothers.

The ninth child of Hong Kong businessman and politician Benton Cheung Yan-lung, Fu-sheng joined Shaw Brothers' Southern Drama School as a trainee at age 15, after failing in school and deciding not to pursue his family's involvement in politics. Under the tutelage of famed director Chang Cheh, Fu-sheng trained under Shaw Brothers' leading martial arts choreographer, Lau Kar-leung, excelling himself as one of the studio's first graduates. Due to Fu-sheng's hyperactive persona, easy-going personality, natural talents at a young age and versatility in various roles, he was even taken in as director Chang Cheh's fourth godson after Creator/TiLung, Creator/DavidChiang, and Creator/DannyLee. More often than not, due to his age, Fu-sheng was cast as TheRuntAtTheEnd as the younger brother, sidekick, or protégé in movies.

Fu-sheng has made 43 films throughout his career from age 17 to 28, 23 of these which are Shaw Brothers productions including classics like ''The Avenging Eagle'', ''Legendary Weapons of China'', ''The Brave Archer'' trilogy, ''My Rebellious Son''. ''The Chinatown Kid'' and several other films. Fu's snarky, semi-comedic persona in the roles he portray would inspire future icons like Creator/JackieChan as a template to follow during the kung fu comedy boom of the late 1970s.

Tragically, Fu-sheng would die in a car accident in July 1983 at age 28, while filming ''Film/TheEightDiagramPoleFighter''. [[note]] He appeared in the opening action scene before disappearing without a trace afterwards, his remaining scenes being cut due to his demise[[/note]] Fu-sheng's daughter with his widow, Jenny Tseng, was born posthumously via in-vitro fertilization.
