There's a wealth of articles, too. For readers of Chinese, at least. We're stuck with the few English tidbits that grace these antique periodicals, bad translations and all. Still, where else can you find this kind of background information? So we thought it'd be fun to repost some of that content as we go.
‘The Guy with a Contused Head’ (Tentative)
This is a Chinese Kung Fu comedy performed by two main characters. In this movie, the audiences may enjoy boxing and kicking scenes and our national gymnastics. The first character is Wang Chian Chyn (Liu Chia Hui) whose Kung Fu is excellent. He cams from a noble family but because forced by circumstances to live outside the palace under a new name.
The other main character is a robber. He is called Ho Chun (Huang Yu) and was wounded in the head by Wang. He did not know Wang has an esoteric ability and always stimulate him in order to have a fight. Wang Chian Chyn knows rat Ho Chun is a robber but he wants to tame him and teach him his esoteric ability. Ho Chun is not an obedient guy and thus Wang wounded his head.
Ho Chun escaped with his wounded head and tired to get cure everywhere but the injure got worse. Ho therefore begged Wang to cure his head and Wang made Ho call him teacher ten times a day until his head is cured. Ho has no alternative but to accept it.
The above plot is accompanied by boxing and kicking scenes with humurous touches which make the audiences burst into laughter.
Dirty Ho: Cam for the national gymnastics, stay for the humurous touches.
