Singapore actor-director Li Nanxing has a special bond with his upcoming Mandarin drama “On The Fringe”.
The 46-year-old actor had played Ah Yong, a rebellious, hot-blooded youth in the drama’s spiritual prequel “On The Fringe” way back in 1987.
The difference, of course, is that Tian Yi Bang, his character in the new “On The Fringe” is not a wayward youth, but a middle-aged former delinquent.
Tian seeks to prevent his son Yao Zhiyong (Edwin Goh) who has never seen Tian since his mother (Tian’s wife played by Pan Ling Ling) remarried, from following in his footsteps.
It was Tian’s struggle to get through to his son that Li found irresistible in the show, which also stars big names like Fann Wong and Rui En.
On The Fringe 边缘父å debuts 2 August 2011 9pm on Channel 8.
