[edit] Biography
Ming Dao came from a poor background, helping his mom sell vegetables in the market. The adult Ming Dao looks very healthy, especially with his dark sun-burnt skin, but the fact is when he was little, his feet were very weak and had to use leg braces.
Ming Dao began his career in the industry of entertainment as a model. Later on he gained the opportunity to be the host of a travelogue show called Mao Xian Wang (The King Of Adventure) and helped SETI (San Li) TV Channel win an award for Best Host. Later he was signed up by Jungiery. He then starred in various music videos by popular Taiwanese artists. In 2004, he took the role of a supporting actor in the series La robe de Mariee des cieux. Most people from Taiwan as well as mainland China recognize Ming Dao from the hit series The Prince Who Turns Into a Frog as Shan Jun Hao. The series beat the all time record of Meteor Garden during its broadcast in Taiwan and is currently holding the highest rating of all time in Taiwan's history.
With the fellow members of his band 183 Club, he later starred in another drama series named Ai Qing Mo Fa Shi (The Magicians of Love). As of now, he has finished shooting two upcoming dramas called Xing Ping Guo Le Yuan (Legend of Star Apple) and Tian Shi Qing Ren (Angel Lover). His band 183 Club's music can be heard in the The Prince Who Turns Into a Frog OST and The Magicians of Love OST. Their debut album was released on August 4th of 2006 with the theme song "One Umbrella", or "Yi Ba San". (The same pronunciation of 183 in Mandarin Chinese).
