Overseasidol.com — Chinese actor Gong Jun is drawing attention once again, this time for his performance in the forensic crime drama The Truth.
In the series, he plays Ye Qian, a trace evidence investigator who appears cold and reserved on the outside but is driven by deep passion and a strong sense of justice.

His character must gather countless small pieces of evidence, connect them carefully, and ultimately reconstruct the truth behind each case.

The project also allowed him to gain several new skills. To better embody the role, he studied investigative techniques used in criminal cases.
He also learned how to ride a heavy professional motorcycle featured in the drama’s action scenes.
According to him, the bike was not just a prop but a powerful machine that required real training.

In addition, Gong Jun picked up everyday skills that appeared in certain scenes, including cooking.
Though he considers these minor details, he still approached them seriously to make his character feel authentic.
