Immersed in this environment, he was exposed to opera from a young age, and in his early years performed with the Foshan Cantonese Opera Troupe, laying a solid foundation for his acting career.
In his personal life, Jiang Tu was known to be quite unruly in his youth, frequenting nightclubs and enjoying drinking and socializing. He experienced numerous romantic relationships, but because his mother did not approve of these romances, he missed the opportunity to get married and remained single throughout his life.
