Barry WONG 黃炳耀（1946.11.24–1991.10.15） Screenwriter, Actor A native of Wuzhou, Guangxi, Wong took up various jobs such as civil servant and secondary school teacher after receiving a fine arts degree from The Chinese University of Hong Kong. He began to write scripts for Commercial Television and ventured into filmmaking in the early 1980s. He penned Read Lips (1980), The Gold-Hunters (1981) and Dragon Lord (1982), produced by Jackie Chan’s Authority Films Ltd. and later worked with Sammo Hung on blockbusters such as The Prodigal Son (1981), Carry On Pickpocket (1982) and The Dead and the Deadly (1982). Winners & Sinners (1983), which he wrote for Hung spawned a lucrative series. It was followed by a trend of vampire films inaugurated by Mr. Vampire (1985), where Wong took part as the production coordinator. Wong’s strength was in comedy, and he was widely celebrated as one of the top-notch screenwriters in Hong Kong. He was best remembered for his long-time collaboration with Sammo Hung, producing a wealth of works for the Hung’s Troupe. He was also a prolific screenwriter who had written works for many different companies. His acclaimed titles include The Other Side of Gentleman (1984), The Haunted Copshop II (1988), Curry and Pepper (1990), Alan & Eric: Between Hello and Goodbye (1991) and Fight Back to School (1991), which brought him multiple nominations for Best Screenplay at the Hong Kong Film Awards. Wong also made occasional film appearances, best known for his part as the superintendent in Fight Back to School (1991). In October 1991, Wong died from cerebral haemorrhage in Germany. He was honoured posthumously with the Professional Achievement Award at the 11th Hong Kong Film Awards in 1992. .

Ti (Stephen Chow) is a poor father who works all day, everyday at a construction site to make sure his son Dicky Chow (Xu Jian) can attend an elite private school. Despite his father’s good intentions to give his son the opportunities he never had, Dicky, with his dirty and tattered clothes and none of the “cool” toys stands out from his schoolmates like a sore thumb. Ti can’t afford to buy Dicky any expensive toys and goes to the best place he knows to get new stuff for Dicky – the junk yard! While out “shopping” for a new toy for his son, Ti finds a mysterious orb and brings it home for Dicky to play with. To his surprise and disbelief, the orb reveals itself to Dicky as a bizarre “pet” with extraordinary powers. Armed with his “CJ7” Dicky seizes this chance to overcome his poor background and shabby clothes and impress his fellow schoolmates for the first time in his life.

Hong Kong Filmmakers Search: Sammo Hung
Sammo HUNG 洪金寶（b. 1952.1.7） Director, Actor, Martial Arts Choreographer, Executive Producer A native of Ningbo, Zhejiang, Hung was born in Hong Kong. His grandfather, Hung Chung-ho was a director in the 1930s and 40s. Hung enrolled in Yu Zhanyuan’s Hong Kong-China Opera Institute to study Peking opera before he was ten. He was the captain of the school’s performing troupe ‘Seven Little Fortunes’. Under the screen name Chu Yuen-lung, Hung appeared in Education of Love (1961) and The Seven Little Valiant Fighters (1962). He began working as a stuntman in the late 1960s, and served as the martial arts choreographer for Shaw Brothers (Hong Kong) Ltd’s The Golden Sword (1969). After Golden Harvest (HK) Limited was established, Hung took part in Lo Wei, Huang Feng and Chung Chang-hwa’s features as both a martial arts choreographer and actor. He was also the martial arts choreographer of King Hu’s The Valiant Ones (1975). In 1977, he made his directorial debut The Iron-Fisted Monk for Golden Harvest. Its box-office catapulted Hung to stardom. In addition to his comedic genius, he won over audiences with his remarkable, fluid action despite his bulk size. The box-office success was followed by a series of action comedies, including Warriors Two (1978), Knockabout (1979) and The Prodigal Son (1981), all directed and played by Hung himself. In 1978, Hung set up Gar Bo Films with Karl Maka and Lau Kar-wing and produced features such as Dirty Tiger, Crazy Frog! (1978). In 1979, he founded Bo Ho Films Company Limited, a satellite company of Golden Harvest.

Media Asia Film Production Limited All Rights Reserved 1
Media Asia Film Production Limited All Rights Reserved 1 rd The 73 Cannes Official Selection Septet: The Story of Hong Kong《七人樂隊》 An omnibus film presented by Media Asia and China Film Media, a production of Milkyway Image, Septet: The Story of Hong Kong has been selected for the official lineup of the 73rd Cannes Film Festival. The film is composed of seven short films in honor of Hong Kong by seven of the city’s most revered directors - Tsui Hark, Ann Hui, Sammo Hung, Patrick Tam, Yuen Wo Ping, Ringo Lam, and Johnnie To, who produced the film and directed one of the seven segments. It is another Johnnie To’s film selected by Cannes Film Festival after Breaking News, Election, Triangle, Vengeance and Blind Detective. It all began with an idea by Johnnie To: despite their renowned international repute and countless accolades under their belts, many Hong Kong directors of his generation still share the same passion for filmmaking and an unwavering love for their city. Johnnie To rallied his like-minded director friends Sammo Hung, Ann Hui, Patrick Tam, Yuen Wo Ping, Ringo Lam, and Tsui Hark to make a movie about Hong Kong. It would be shot on film as a tribute to the bygone era of filmmaking, and the stories would span from the 50s to the future. Each director shot a short movie around 10 minutes each for their allotted decade. Each segment would be a special melody imprinted with the director’s feelings for Hong Kong. Seven of Hong Kong’s most revered directors with distinctly unique styles come together for the first time to compose a symphony of stories for their city.

SUN YAT-SENS: CONTESTED IMAGES of a POLITICAL ICON By
SUN YAT-SENS: CONTESTED IMAGES OF A POLITICAL ICON by THOMAS EVAN FISCHER A THESIS Presented to the Asian Studies Program and the Graduate School of the University of Oregon in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts September 2020 THESIS APPROVAL PAGE Student: Thomas Evan Fischer Title: Sun Yat-sens: Contested Images of a Political Icon This thesis has been accepted and approved in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts degree in the Asian Studies Program by: Bryna Goodman Chairperson Ina Asim Member Daniel Buck Member and Kate Mondloch Interim Vice Provost and Dean of the Graduate School Original approval signatures are on file with the University of Oregon Graduate School. Degree awarded September 2020 ii © 2020 Thomas Evan Fischer iii THESIS ABSTRACT Thomas Evan Fischer Master of Arts Asian Studies Program September 2020 Title: Sun Yat-sens: Contested Images of a Political Icon This thesis explores the afterlives of the Chinese revolutionary icon Sun Yat- sen and their relevant contexts, arguing that these contexts have given rise to different images of the same figure. It serves as a gallery in which these different images are put into conversation with one another, revealing new insights into each. Key to the discussion, Sun is first introduced in a short biography. Then, the thesis moves to his different afterlives: Sun and the fight for his posthumous approval in the Republic of China before 1949; Sun and his usage in Chinese Communist political rhetoric from 1956 through 2016; Sun and his changing image in the ROC-Taiwan, a change that reflects the contentious political environment of an increasingly bentu Taiwan; Sun and two of his images among the overseas Chinese of Hawaii and Penang.

Proceedings of the 18Th SIGMORPHON Workshop on Computational Research in Phonetics, Phonol- Ogy, and Morphology
SIGMORPHON 2021 18th SIGMORPHON Workshop on Computational Research in Phonetics, Phonology, and Morphology Proceedings of the Workshop August 5, 2021 Bangkok, Thailand (online) ©2021 The Association for Computational Linguistics and The Asian Federation of Natural Language Processing Order copies of this and other ACL proceedings from: Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) 209 N. Eighth Street Stroudsburg, PA 18360 USA Tel: +1-570-476-8006 Fax: +1-570-476-0860 [email protected] ISBN 978-1-954085-62-6 ii Preface Welcome to the 18th SIGMORPHON Workshop on Computational Research in Phonetics, Phonology, and Morphology, to be held on August 5, 2021 as part of a virtual ACL. The workshop aims to bring together researchers interested in applying computational techniques to problems in morphology, phonology, and phonetics. Our program this year highlights the ongoing investigations into how neural models process phonology and morphology, as well as the development of finite-state models for low- resource languages with complex morphology. We received 25 submissions, and after a competitive reviewing process, we accepted 14. The workshop is privileged to present four invited talks this year, all from very respected members of the SIGMORPHON community. Reut Tsarfaty, Kenny Smith, Kristine Yu, and Ekaterina Vylomova all presented talks at this year’s workshop. This year also marks the sixth iteration of the SIGMORPHON Shared Task. Following upon the success of last year’s multiple tasks, we again hosted 3 shared tasks: Task 0: SIGMORPHON’s sixth installment of its inflection generation shared task is divided into two parts: Generalization, and cognitive plausibility. In the first part, participants designed a model that learned to generate morphological inflections from a lemma and a set of morphosyntactic features of the target form, similar to previous year’s tasks.
