What happens

Yuen Cheung-yan (Chinese: 袁祥仁; pinyin: Yuán Xiángrén; 1957 – 1 January 2026) was a Hong Kong actor, director, stuntman and fight choreographer who worked for many years in the Hong Kong film industry. During the 1970s and early 1980s, he worked with his elder brother, Yuen Woo-ping, and other members of the Yuen family on several films, some of them kung fu comedies such as Shaolin Drunkard (1983) and The Miracle Fighters (1983). He also worked as a fight choreographer for American films like Charlie's Angels (2000). On 1 January 2026, Yuen died at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Hong Kong, at the age of 68.
