Xiang Huaqiang is Xiang Huasheng's elder brother. His father Xiang Xiang was a major general in the Kuomintang military command and was Dai Li's favorite disciple.
Later, he went to Hong Kong to lurk as a spy, and established "Xin Ngee Ann", the Chaozhou Gang, in Hong Kong to hide his identity.
Sun Ngee On is one of the largest and most powerful gangs in Hong Kong.
Xiang Xiang used Xin Ngee Ann to try to infiltrate reactionary forces into the mainland many times after the founding of New China. He was eventually deported by the Hong Kong government in 1953 on suspicion of organizing a triad to engage in illegal espionage work, and settled in Taiwan.
After Xiang Xiang was expelled, Xin Ngee Ann was taken over by Xiang Huaqiang's second brother.
With his father and brother in charge, Xiang Huaqiang's career as an actor was much smoother than that of other Hong Kong artists at the same time.
After starring in a series of movies, Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng formed Yongsheng Film Company in 1987 and began to work behind the scenes.
He has directed and produced many famous films.
For example, in Chow Yun-fat's "God of Gamblers" series, Xiang Huaqiang played the role of Long Wu in this series, which became his classic role and once set off a craze for gambling movies.

He has also made Jet Li, Andy Lau, Stephen Chow and others famous. It can be said that he has single-handedly made most of the Hong Kong entertainment industry famous, and has established himself as the leading hegemon in the entertainment industry.
Xiang Huaqiang is very charitable and very loyal.
He once helped Cecilia Cheung get rid of a rape and murder order and helped Andy Lau pay back the money.
