In the classic 1986 version of Journey to the West, audiences were not only impressed by the three adult actors who played Tang Sanzang, but also particularly loved the image of the gentle boy, holding a carp to release with a radiant smile – Tang Sanzang in his childhood.
That brief but memorable role was given to Thai Vien Hang – the then 8-year-old boy who became a memorable part of the classic film.
Thai Vien Hang played the young Tang Monk in the TV series "Journey to the West".
Thai Vien Hang was born in 1975 and participated in the filming of Journey to the West in 1983 when he was only 8 years old. At that time, he had a round face, rosy complexion, and large ears – features considered very suitable for the image of Tang Monk.
Not only did he have the right appearance, but Thái Viễn Hàng also displayed natural acting ability, bright eyes, and a benevolent smile, which led the late director Dương Khiết to entrust him with the role of young Tang Monk.
Despite appearing in only a short segment, the image of Yuan Hang releasing fish to accumulate merit left a lasting impression on viewers. Thanks to this role, the young boy surnamed Cai became one of the most beloved child actors on Chinese television at that time.
After Journey to the West, Cai Yuanhang continued to appear in many other famous films, especially playing the younger versions of male leads. These include the young Puyi in The Last Emperor, the young Zhou Baojian in Wan Jun, Cai Zong in The Love Story, and appearances in The Little Shuang Family.
With his consistent acting, bright face, and obedient demeanor, Viễn Hàng is always a top choice for teenage roles in television and film.
Not only did he pursue acting, but Thái Viễn Hàng also tried his hand at hosting several children's programs. It seemed he would pursue a professional artistic career when he passed the entrance exam to the Central Academy of Drama – one of China's most prestigious performing arts schools.
Instead of pursuing an acting career, Thai Vien Hang is now a wealthy businessman.
After graduating, Thai Vien Hang unexpectedly abandoned his artistic career to pursue business – a turning point that surprised many. Under his family's guidance, he chose to try his hand at economics and quickly achieved success.
Currently, Thai Vien Hang heads a large corporation and is considered a successful young entrepreneur. His wealthy life and solid career are admired by many. He once shared: "The spotlight is beautiful, but I find true joy and value in business."
Not only does Thái Viễn Hàng have an enviable career, but he also enjoys a fulfilling marriage with his famous wife, actress Tôn Tây. She is a familiar face on screen, having made a strong impression playing Thôi Cẩn Tịch, the head maid of Zhen Huan in the drama "Zhen Huan's Story."
In 2013, Tai Yuan Hang captivated the public with his romantic marriage proposal to Sun Xi. The couple's fairytale wedding followed shortly after, becoming a highly publicized event. In 2017, the happy family welcomed a healthy baby boy, completing the family life of the "Little Monk" from years past.
On social media, the couple frequently shares sweet moments, from travel and weekend outings to anniversaries. Despite withdrawing from the entertainment industry, audiences can still see Thai Vien Hang appearing on several television programs, where he shares about his married life, memories from his acting days, and his transition into business.
