'Good Boy' star Yan Zheng Guo passes away at the age of 51

Nhan Chinh Quoc, one-time star of the childhood series "Hao Tieu Tu", has passed away at the age of 51 after a long and courageous battle with lung cancer.

According to ChinaTimes , the information was confirmed by Gang Tiebo, a close friend and family representative, saying that Yan Zhengguo could not overcome stage 4 lung cancer. The actor died on October 7 at his home, after being removed from life support at the A Dong Hospital.

Gang Thiet Ba revealed that Nhan Chinh Quoc was diagnosed with cancer around October last year and fought bravely for a year before passing away.

Nhan Chinh Quoc: From early glory to the abyss of sin

Nhan Chinh Quoc entered the entertainment industry at the age of 5 and soon became a familiar face through many works of famous director Hou Hsiao-Hsien. By 1986, the film series Hao Tieu Tu made his name explode, becoming a sought-after prodigy with a salary that was "enough to buy a house".

However, the early fame also brought tragedy. Dropping out of school, being bullied for being too famous and having to associate with complicated elements to protect himself pushed him down the path of decline. Nhan Chinh Quoc's life quickly sank into vice, leading to a series of days involved in drugs, guns and culminating in a shocking kidnapping and ransom case in 2001. He once faced the death penalty before it was reduced to 15 years in prison.

The pain of awakening after father's death

The turning point in Nhan Chinh Quoc's life was when his father passed away. The pain and shame of having to wear handcuffs and shackles to mourn his father woke him up, forcing him to look back and resolve to repent. He became a vegetarian for a year and found peace and goodness through practicing calligraphy.

After being released from prison in March 2012 (with 11 years of imprisonment), Nhan Chinh Quoc became a calligrapher and returned to cinema.

After being released from prison in March 2012, Yan Zheng Guo became a calligrapher and returned to cinema, not only as an actor but also as a director. The film "The Head of the Horn" directed by him was a box office hit with a record revenue of 127 million NTD (more than 100 billion VND), proving his strong comeback. With his own life story, Yan Zheng Guo often went to schools and prisons to share and advise young people to cherish life and family. His passing is a great loss, but the legacy of perseverance and the journey to overcome fate of a person who had fallen to the deepest level will remain.
