Zhu Longguang's career as an actor seems to be an accident. He first entered the entertainment industry because of an experience of hospitalization with a high fever. A misdiagnosis led to his suspension of school, but this young man, who had no interest in acting, embarked on the road of acting by chance and became the leading actor of "Descending the Dragon and the Tiger". This play made him an instant hit and won him the first prize of the National Young Actor.
However, Zhu Longguang did not dream of becoming an actor from the beginning. He grew up in poverty and had five siblings in his family, but his parents took a fancy to his handsome appearance and sent him to art school. He was not interested in acting at first, but under the guidance of his teacher, he changed his dream and was finally admitted to Lanzhou University of the Arts.
Zhu Longguang is a serious and hard-working person who treats his acting career meticulously. In the filming of "Descending the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger", he carefully figured out the role and worked hard to solve the problems he didn't understand. This dedication and hard work made him famous in one fell swoop, and also attracted the attention of the Railway Corps Art Troupe, and he was transferred to the Engineer Corps Art Troupe, laying the foundation for his career.
In 1961, the filming of the movie "Tunnel War" brought Zhu Longguang's career to its peak.

Despite being injured during filming, he continued to get the job done. This movie became a classic at the time because of its authenticity and touching performance, and it was a box office hit, making the audience brush up and down, and achieving Zhu Longguang's acting career.
While his career was going well, Zhu Longguang's love also ushered in the blooming season. His relationship with his wife Wu Huifang began during the art troupe, although the age difference was large, but the two insisted on getting along. Zhu Longguang's dedication finally impressed Wu Huifang, and the two married in 1968 and had three lovely daughters. In marriage, Zhu Longguang has always regarded family as the first and cared for his wife with his heart, whether in relationship or life.
In his acting career, Zhu Longguang's peak may be playing the Buddha in "Journey to the West". At first, his doubts about this role were finally broken by the director's sentence "He is big and suitable". Zhu Longguang's performance is vivid, making him a true Buddha in the eyes of believers. Even today, he is remembered for his outstanding performance in this role.

He continues to participate in many works, such as "Wooden House", "Jiao Yulu", "Rolling Yellow River" and so on. Even at the age of eighty, he still maintains his love for acting, and recently cooperated with the Jade Emperor to launch "The Little Sacred Legend of Wukong".
