I think Maya Chan became popular because of "The Story of Bandits in Wulong Mountain" and her divorce was not entirely because of this drama. At that time, due to the suspicion of some forces, the production team did not hold a kick-off ceremony during the filming, but concentrated on the shooting. The 400,000 dollar drama was aired in 1987. The response was overwhelming, creating an unprecedented ratings miracle. Maya Chen, an actress with the Railway Art Troupe, played the role of Ribi in the 1986 TV series "Wulong Mountain Bandit Suppression".
Wulong Mountain Banditry" also won the "Golden Eagle Award", "Tianma Award" and three individual awards. It was reported that the crime rate in Guangzhou dropped dramatically the year it aired because everyone was at home watching "The Story of the Bandits on Wulong Mountain" when it aired on the Golden Theater.
In those days, the play created many characters. Everyone was impressed by the four female agents. For a TV person who loves art, being recognized and loved by the audience is a confirmation of her acting career. However,Wulong Mountain Bandit Suppression Story has become the reason for the breakup of Chen Maya's deteriorating relationship. Maya Chen said: "Wulong Mountain Bandits' Story brought me to the peak of my artistic career, but I lost my marriage and my beloved husband.
In this drama, Svenz was played by Maya Chan and became a hit. Sadly, Oolong Mountain Banditry was very popular at the time. Maya Chan's husband at the time couldn't stand the fact that his wife was so famous and divorced her. Later, Maya Chen later appeared in movies and TV series, but her characterization was never more popular than the TV series back then. So I don't think Maya Chen became famous for "The Bandits of Wulong Mountain" and her divorce was not entirely because of the drama.
