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 was also infected. This book, a "wild dharma" about Hong Kong film gossip and viewing ramblings, does not aim to be an academic monograph or pretend to be profound. It is simply about sharing the boundless joy and unique memories that Hong Kong films have brought us with fellow enthusiasts. If you think it's decent, thanks for your support. Let's have tea when we're free. "The Outlaws of the Martial World: Hong Kong Film Fragments" is like a reflection of this academic work, serving as the "wild history," "outlaws," and "tales" of Hong Kong cinema. It contains martial arts feuds, life ups and downs, and evaluations of merits and faults. 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 won't feel as if you've attended a profound academic lecture, but rather as if you've listened to an addictive storytelling performance.
