Zhu Longguang was born in 1939 in Shaanxi Province (China). He worked in the theater and film industry from the late 1950s to the early 1960s. In the early 1980s, the Journey to the West film crew and director Yang Jie struggled to find a tall, imposing, and kind actor to play the role of Buddha Tathagata. After many rounds of auditions, they still could not find a suitable person. At this time, a friend in the industry introduced Zhu Longguang to director Yang Jie. From being skeptical and worried about actor Zhu, the filmmaker was convinced after seeing him dressed up as Buddha Tathagata.
After the film was released, Chu Long Quang's majestic and lively image of Buddha Tathagata left a deep impression on the audience and has been associated with the actor's name ever since. After Journey to the West by director Duong Khiet, Chu Long Quang also transformed into Buddha Tathagata in several other film projects and entertainment programs.

According to Baidu , the image of Buddha Tathagata is so closely associated with this artist that there was a time when he went out without changing his costume or removing his makeup, causing many people to mistake him for Buddha and kneel before him. Even some items related to the image of Buddha Tathagata sold in many places were taken from the image of the actor Chu in Journey to the West. Chu Long Quang once expressed that playing the role of Buddha Tathagata and receiving positive reception from the public was a valuable opportunity and experience in his life.
Besides Journey to the West , Chu Long Quang also left his mark through many films: Underground Battle, Martial Arts, Wu Cheng'en and Journey to the West, The Legend of White Snake...
In his personal life, Chu Long Quang had a beautiful love affair with actress Ngo Hue Phuong. He met his wife in the early 1960s and fell in love with her at first sight. In 1965, they had the opportunity to film together and became a couple. In 1967, the two artists got married and had three daughters. In recent years, Chu Long Quang has retired, enjoying his children and grandchildren, occasionally appearing at some events and entertainment programs.
