Character evaluation

Lang Xiong's films "wedding banquet", "pushing hands" and "eating men and women" are known as "father Trilogy". The father image he plays in the films is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, representing the most traditional and typical Chinese father (commented by Guangzhou Daily). Lang Xiong's acting skills are flexible, and his typical role is introverted, intelligent, and loving. The father he plays is often silent and wise. Dong is strong and chooses not to express himself. He is humorous and has the feeling of years and dust. Lang Xiong's face is a Republic of five nationalities. When you see his face, you think he looks like a Chinese father. He has a natural sense of humor in him, which fits well. In fact, in private, Lang Xiong talks a lot. He is a joker, a man from all over the world, and a man of all kinds. He is not the same as his father on the screen (Ang Lee's comment).
