Chinese actor, writer, TV series and movie producer, director, and former head of the August First Film Studio. Born in Harbin, Huang joined the People's Liberation Army at the tender age of 13, demonstrating an early commitment to his country.
He pursued higher education at Liaoning University, where he studied philosophy, and later at the People's Liberation Army Academy of Art, where he honed his performance skills. Huang's impressive career in sketch comedy spanned over two decades, with a remarkable streak of uninterrupted appearances on the CCTV New Year's Gala from 1989 to 2012.
During this time, he became a household name in China, entertaining audiences with his hilarious skits, including the popular "Anti-family plan Guerrilla" and "Poker". Huang's talents extend beyond comedy, as he has also directed and starred in films such as "A Father With His 25 Children" (2001) and "Sunny Courtyard" (2007).
In 2012, Huang took on the role of head of the August First Film Studio, a position he held until his removal in March 2015. Although the reasons for his departure were not publicly disclosed, rumors and speculation swirled, with some media outlets linking him to disgraced general Xu Caihou. However, Huang's subsequent return to the stage dispelled these allegations, suggesting that the accusations were unfounded.
