Anyone who is a fan of Hong Kong cinema and martial arts films will immediately recognise the name Tsui Hark.
He is one of the key figures in Hong Kong’s New Wave, responsible for reinventing the martial arts genre. As a writer, producer and director, he boosted the careers of many like Chow Yun-fat, Jet Lee and even John Woo. And until last year with the box office success of Ne Zha 2, the 75-year-old director’s film The Battle at Lake Changjin was the highest-grossing Chinese film of all time.
