Features: The cinema hall, once a "historical site," has nurtured countless Hong Kong film enthusiasts. The author is one such example, and so is Ning Canshen, the scriptwriter of "My Own Swordsman," who is also a victim of this "addiction." This book, a "wild dharma" about Hong Kong film gossip and ramblings, does not aim to be an academic treatise or pretend to be profound. It is simply about sharing the endless joy and unique memories that Hong Kong films have brought us with fellow enthusiasts. If you think it's decent, then thank you for your support. Let's have tea when we have time, ha. "The Outlaws of the Martial World: Hong Kong Film Fragments" is like a reflection of this academic work, serving as the "wild history," "outskirts," and "tales" of Hong Kong cinema. It contains martial arts feuds, life ups and downs, and evaluations of right and wrong. Between the lines lies a map of relationships in the Hong Kong film industry and a timeline of its historical development. After reading it, you'll feel as if you've attended an engaging lecture rather than a profound academic discourse.
