Engineering Student Accidentally Debuts, 24-Year Acting Journey: "From Prime Time Dramas to the Big Screen"

Published at Jun 08, 2026 10:50 am
After news of Fu Zichun's passing broke, not only were his fans in disbelief, but many artists and friends who had worked with him also spoke out in mourning, expressing their sorrow. Fu Zichun officially entered the entertainment industry in 2002, and it has been 24 years since his debut. However, few people know that he was not professionally trained, but was instead a typical engineering student.

Fu Zichun attended Providence University, majoring in Finance and Computational Mathematics. With no connection to the entertainment world, it was his father who signed him up for an actor training class while he was still at university. Unexpectedly, this opened the door to his career in showbiz. During the training, he happened to be invited to perform in a prime time drama, and thus began a 24-year career in front of the camera.

However, his path in showbiz was not a smooth one. Since he had never received professional acting training, Fu Zichun was criticized on set for his lack of experience when he first started out, and was even looked down upon by staff members at one point. Nevertheless, he did not give up—instead, he turned setbacks into motivation for growth, honing his acting skills through one drama after another.

Among his roles, Fu Zichun gained wide recognition for his sincere and natural portrayal of "Yang Haisheng" in the military drama "Rookies' Diary," leaving a deep impression on viewers. He once admitted that participating in many prime time dramas in the past allowed his acting skills to grow rapidly, becoming an important nourishment for his future career.

Throughout the years since his debut, Fu Zichun has been a familiar face in Taiwanese dramas, starring in classic prime time series such as "The Unforgettable Memory," "Home," "Father and Son," "Feng Shui Family," "Gold Age," "Glory of Love," and "Good Luck Comes," winning audiences' hearts with his sunny image and steady acting. In addition to his solid work in television, he gradually branched out into films, appearing in "The Bold, the Corrupt, and the Beautiful." From prime time dramas to the big screen, he expanded his horizons in entertainment.

No one expected that just four days ago, he had happily promoted the program "Ha! The Truth Has Come Out" airing on the 9th via his social media. He looked energetic and in good spirits, but the sudden news of his passing has now shocked the public. According to the TV station, the recording date was May 12th. "He looked quite well, his condition was very good, and he answered all the questions with ease, even getting them all correct. We will air the program as planned so everyone can remember his always-cheerful and handsome presence one last time."#
