Malaysian actor Lawrence Wong on lockdown: 'It changes the perspective you have on time'


The actor, famed for his role in Chinese drama 'Story Of Yanxi Palace', has had to endure a quiet time indoors during the pandemic.

If you happen to love Story Of Yanxi Palace, the wildly popular Chinese period drama spanning a whopping 70 episodes, then you’ll probably recognise Lawrence Wong. While he was not the lead actor in it, he captured hearts all the same.

The Johor-born star catapulted to fame after playing kind-hearted imperial guard Hai Lan Cha in the 2018 television series. He was even ranked 35th in the list of most influential artistes in China because of it.
