Hong Kong Movies Never Die
“Hong Kong Movies Never Die ” marks its tenth anniversary — ten years witnessing the highs and lows of Hong Kong cinema. This selection features films I believe are worth recommending from the past decade. They may not be flawless, but each is the work of an emerging director. As the saying goes, “the younger generation surpasses the old,” and newcomers are no less capable than their predecessors. To keep Hong Kong cinema alive and unbroken — to truly achieve “Hong Kong Movies Never Die ” — please support these new forces of quality Hong Kong filmmaking.

Those irreversible slices of life
Recently, in a novel I've come to love, I found myself grasping the weight of life's slices. In the story, there is a wicked sorcerer who freezes people in the instant just before tragedy strikes—suspending everything, sealing it into a crystal ball, and building an entire museum from these frozen moments. And isn't film, in its own way, just as cruel? As viewers, we are little more than instruments for collecting tissue slices—slipping into a character's world for a single fleeting moment, wandering through it in passing, only to return, in the blink of an eye, to the reality that is our own.
