Actor Cai Heng
Actor Cai Heng said that "Moonlight Samurai" has a very romantic name, this story about bravery and growth. "Some people say that growing up is the illusion of cutting off the body with a knife. Some people say that there is no shortage of wise people in our time, but fewer people who are brave. And the character of Dou Xiaoming carries ideals, innocence and bravery. I am very honored to play him, and I would like to thank the director of Rainbow Shadow for his choice and trust in me, as well as the recommendation of producer Cheng Qingsong and his help to me. Every actor and I do our best to complete their roles with enthusiasm. ”
