Personal life
In 1946, at the age of 19, he moved to Shanghai to work as a stuntman in the film industry. A few years later, he moved to Hong Kong and Singapore to pursue career opportunities, taking on side jobs such as martial arts actor and stuntman. In the 1960s, he returned to Hong Kong to join the Shaw Brothers Studio (which was privatized), performing many stunts, stunt exhibitions and producing films. At the same time, he was able to create more amazing performances and had a chance to meet director Hu Jinquan. In 1966, he left Shaw Brothers and moved to Taiwan to develop his career. Until 1970, when Han returned to Hong Kong, he worked as a martial arts instructor.
