This "Godfather of Hong Kong cinema" is one of the most influential wuxia film directors of all time, and he has almost 100 films to his name. He began his career as a screenwriter--his first being The False Faced Woman, 1947--and, later, often co-wrote scripts with author and screenwriter Ni Kuang. His directorial debut was the 1949 Mount Turbulence, but his breakthrough was with the 1967 film One Armed Swordsman, starring Jimmy Wang Yu. Besides writing and directing his own films, he occasionally wrote/co-wrote the music as well.
