China Movies Weekly, 13 April 2005

 
Xiong Xin Xin (aka Hung Yan Yan), most commonly known for his role as Clubfoot Seven in Once Upon A Time in China series, was born in 1962 in Liuzhou, Guangxi, China. He began martial arts training at the age of 12, and 2 years later, became a member of Guangxi Wushu Team and won numerous trophies at Guangxi and National Wushu Competitions. In 1984, under a fortuitous occasion, he stepped into the movie industry. "At that time, I was no longer competing and had taken up the post of a wushu coach. My two seniors who were in Shaolin Temple looked me up to shoot Martial Arts of Shaolin. Because of my impressions on Shaolin Temple, I agreed."
