As a young man Fu Sheng moved with his family to Hawaii and trained in Judo and then Karate.

Becoming one of Shaw's stable he starred in "Police Force"(1973) but didn't really became a star until his incredible, charismatic appearences in Chang Cheh`s Shaolin Temple films, "The Men From The Monastery"(1973), "Heroes Two"(1974), "Shaolin Martial Arts"(1974), "Disciples Of Shaolin"(1975) and "Shaolin Temple"(1976). His other films included "Na Cha The Great"(1974), "Marco Polo"(1975), "Boxer Rebellion"(1975), "Eight Man Army"(1976), "The Naval Commandos"(1976), "The New Shaolin Boxers"(1976) and "The Chinatown Kid"(1976).

He was badly hurt at this point. He badly broke both legs and was consequently out of the running for any film offers, one of which was to star in "Snake In The Eagle's Shadow". In fact his legs had been so badly smashed he wasn`t expected to 'ever' return to movie making.

Sheng never completely recovered, worked hard and got himself fit enough to resume his career with "The Proud Twins"(1979). This was followed by "The Deadly Breaking Sword"(1979), the incredible "Legendary Weapons Of Kung Fu"(1980), "My Rebellious Son"(1982), "Treasure Hunters"(1982), Wong Jing`s "Hong Kong Playboys"(1983) and "Eight Diagram Pole Fighters"(1984)... It was during the filming of this movie that, while travelling with his brother in a car, that he was involved in a serious accident on Clearwater Bay Road... the car had smashed into a wall at high speed. Sheng was critically injured and after a few days his final fight ended.
