    An Encounter with HK Films Never Shown in HK Hong Kong Filmography IV (1953-1959), in separate Chinese and English versions, will be published before the end of this year. Film archiving has its way of bringing surprises, big or small, especially when different thematic projects give one the perfect excuse to indulge oneself in different terrains. Seeing the close tie formed between the Hong Kong film industry and its overseas market in Southeast Asia, the research work on the Hong Kong Filmography series has long crossed over to the Chinese press in Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand. Volume IV contains Amoy and Chaozhou-dialects films made for Southeast Asian market which have never been released in Hong Kong. The missing information, therefore, has to be filled solely with these overseas Chinese papers. To say the whole process is nerve-racking is probably an understatement. Imagine the intricacy to distinguish the same film released under a different title, or an apparent Chaozhou-dialect film turns out to be the Jekyll and Hyde of an old Cantonese film, camouflaged by dubbing... Deducting the re-releases and you have a list of Chaozhou, Amoy and Mandarin films which somehow never made it to the local cinemas... Amoy-dialect films bloomed in late 1950s, making a Many Chaozhou-dialect films draw their stories star of the newcomer Xiao Juan (right). Yes, she's from Chaozhou operas and folktales.

  • Our Beloved “Happy Fruit” Lydia Sum 1. Introduction the Shanghai-Born Entertainer Joined the Local Show Scene at a Young
    Our Beloved “Happy Fruit” Lydia Sum 1. Introduction The Shanghai-born entertainer joined the local show scene at a young age and enjoyed a glittering career spanning more than four decades. Many of her actions and thoughts were captured by the camera. Starting off with small parts, she played young maidservants, school girls, factory girls, newly weds, stay-at-home mums and mothers-in-law – the numerous roles she played grew through the generations. Her accomplishments as TV programme hostess and mistress of ceremonies are just as extraordinary, earning her affectionate nicknames such as “Sister Fei”, “Happy Fruit” and “Champion MC”. Her life not only reflects the development of show business in Hong Kong, but also depicts how the local generation who grew up in the post-war period struggled to succeed. Artistes are intertwined with social culture: they act as an interactive medium between popular culture and the public. Pursuing the many inter-relations of popular culture, we interviewed Lydia’s family in Canada and also her friends and work colleagues in Hong Kong. We also searched in libraries and archives for texts, images and sounds that could identify Sum’s various personas in the public eye. We explored the cultural manifestation of her unique iconic status dating back to the 1960s. 2. Happy Fruit Going to the cinema was a major form of entertainment in the 1960s. Amusing themes were all the rage as they helped to ease the harsh realities of life. The audience could relax and enjoy laughing at comedians such as Lydia Sum, Cheng Kwan-min, Tam Ping-man on the big screen.
