Look closely at your competitors. Is there anything they do better than you? Maybe it's their messaging, their branding, their logo. Whatever it is, it doesn't hurt to “borrow” ideas from them. We won't call it stealing. That's just one of the things we're talking about in this episode as we take marketing lessons from Fortnite with the help of special guest, VP, Head of Content at GreenSlate, Chris Anderson. Together, we chat about borrowing ideas from your competitors, providing opportunities for customization, and making pleasingly digestible content.About our guest, Chris AndersonChris Anderson is VP, Head of Content at GreenSlate, a best-in-class software that simplifies and streamlines payroll and accounting for TV and film productions.

It has six game modes: Fortnite: Save the World, Fortnite Battle Royale, and Fortnite Creative, Lego Fortnite, Rocket Racing and Fortnite Festival. It's available across platforms like Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PC, Mac, iOS and some Android devices. It's incredibly popular with over 500 million registered users, and around 230 million active players each month. The game has generated around $26 billion since it launched.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Fortnite:Borrow ideas from your competitors. If your competitors are offering a product or service you don't have and it's doing well, build it out for your brand too. Chris says, “In 2017 PUBG (a game called PlayerUnknown's Battleground) was the big battle royale, and Fortnite was primarily focused on their pay-to-play model, which was Save the World. But they recognized in their competitor that there was a mode that they did not have that was very good and popular. And they understood that if they changed course and put it out as a free-to-play model, that was worth it. They were flexible and they adapted and they put something out that was fun and engaging for a different audience.”Provide opportunities for customization. Ian says, “One of the ultimate B2B lessons is making the customer feel like they're getting exactly what they want and none of the features that they don't want.” Fortnite lets players choose what game mode they want to play, what they want their character to look like, and what emotes they want to use. It gives players ownership of their character and how they feel about the gaming experience.Make it short and sweet. Whether it's a newsletters, blog post, article, email, whatever…make your content pleasingly digestible. People should be able to consume it easily and in a short amount of time. Ian says Fortnite is super addictive because of “the speed in which the rounds happen. If you're out, you're out for a little bit, but then you can go back in and do something else. It's just got this built-in super fast pace that makes it really engaging.” And Chris added that he can knock out a game in a matter of minutes.Quotes*”Epic Games is really good at understanding their audience as well as their potential audience that they don't have. They capture these different audiences across the board in these different categories. And they're pulling in all these people from different places because they have this platform that's flexible enough to build on top of it. It's quite brilliant.” - Chris Anderson*“There's a difference between what you think people want, what you want them to want, and then what they actually want. In B2B you can put a ton of effort into building a new feature because maybe you've done some market research and you think that, ‘Oh, people definitely want this. This is something that they're interested in.' You build it, spend the time, you put it out there and it bombs, or for whatever reason, it just doesn't resonate. It's hard for people to pull back from these sometimes because you put all that energy, all that effort into creating that product.” - Chris Anderson*”It's hard to bullshit people.  You could be really good at content marketing and really good at pushing narratives. But if the product itself can't back it up, you're going to forever be chasing a dream.” - Chris AndersonTime Stamps[0:55] Meet Chris Anderson, VP, Head of Content at GreenSlate[1:12] Discussion about Fortnite in B2B Marketing[1:17] What does Chris' role at GreenSlate entail?[1:17] What makes Fortnite remarkable?[4:21] What are some B2B marketing' takeaways from Fortnite?[38:57] What is Chris' content strategy?[50:03] What can we learn about content calendars from Fortnite?[57:45] What advice would Chris give other marketers?LinksPlay FortniteConnect with Chris on LinkedInLearn more about GreenSlateAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

In this episode, Felix Cheung, the founder of IXON Food Technology, joins us from Hong Kong to discuss his revolutionary sous-vide aseptic packaging (ASAP) technology. Cheung's interest in food technology stemmed from a passion for food and technology. He explained that the inspiration behind starting IXON Food Technology was to develop ASAP technology, which enhances sous-vide cooking.Sous-vide cooking involves vacuum-sealing food and cooking it at precise temperatures. The ASAP technology takes it further by allowing the meat to stay safe at room temperature for up to two years. Cheung shared insights into how the technology works and its implications for food safety and preservation. Cheung envisions ASAP technology as a transformative force in the future of food preservation and distribution. The ability to extend shelf life and maintain food safety at room temperature can revolutionize the industry.In the news, we discuss the House of Commons Agriculture report on the grocery industry and food inflation, what's coming from the Competition Bureau, Loblaw checking receipts, a new Shrinkflation database by the CBC…( https://ici.radio-canada.ca/info/2023/reduflation/base-donnees-produits-aliments-epicerie-formats-taxes/) and a new food fraud report from the CFIACFIA collected 844 targeted samples to detect specific types of misrepresentation. The following percentages of analyzed samples were found to be satisfactory:fish 92.7%honey 77.5%meat 99.1%olive oil 86.9%other expensive oils 64.3%spices 90.8% Lastly, we talk about the new RBC report that says high food prices are here to stay because of climate change and labour shortages…really…what about innovation? Lobster Photo by Daniel Norris on Unsplash About FelixFelix Cheung is the founder and CEO of IXON, a Hong Kong-based company specializing in food preservation.

Hate Spin: The Manufacture of Religious Offense and Its Threat to Democracy

In the United States, elements of the religious right fuel fears of an existential Islamic threat, spreading anti-Muslim rhetoric into mainstream politics. In Indonesia, Muslim absolutists urge suppression of churches and minority sects, fostering a climate of rising intolerance. In India, Narendra Modi's radical supporters instigate communal riots and academic censorship in pursuit of their Hindu nationalist vision. Outbreaks of religious intolerance are usually assumed to be visceral and spontaneous. But in Hate Spin, Cherian George shows that they often involve sophisticated campaigns manufactured by political opportunists to mobilize supporters and marginalize opponents. Right-wing networks orchestrate the giving of offense and the taking of offense as instruments of identity politics, exploiting democratic space to promote agendas that undermine democratic values. George calls this strategy “hate spin”—a double-sided technique that combines hate speech (incitement through vilification) with manufactured offense-taking (the performing of righteous indignation). It is deployed in societies as diverse as Buddhist Myanmar and Orthodox Christian Russia. George looks at the world's three largest democracies, where intolerant groups within India's Hindu right, America's Christian right, and Indonesia's Muslim right are all accomplished users of hate spin. He also shows how the Internet and Google have opened up new opportunities for cross-border hate spin. George argues that governments must protect vulnerable communities by prohibiting calls to action that lead directly to discrimination and violence. But laws that try to protect believers' feelings against all provocative expression invariably backfire. They arm hate spin agents' offense-taking campaigns with legal ammunition. Anti-discrimination laws and a commitment to religious equality will protect communities more meaningfully than misguided attempts to insulate them from insult. Cherian George is Associate Professor in the Department of Journalism at Hong Kong Baptist University.

This event is hosted by Yu-Wang Chen, Professor in Decision Sciences and Business Analytics at Alliance Manchester Business School. Knowledge and Data-Driven Decision Making Data-driven decision making is the practice of using data to support decision making, and it becomes more widely recognised with the development of decision science, data science and artificial intelligence. Real-world decision making problems are usually characterised by multiple criteria and associated with uncertainty. Data often come from different sources in different formats. In addition, decision makers' domain knowledge also plays an important role in making informed decisions. In this episode, Yu-wang will introduce his work in this research domain and a number of examples from his own research will be used to highlight how data and knowledge can be aggregated to support decision making in business and management. Yu-wang Chen Prior to joining AMBS, Yu-wang worked briefly as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Department of Computer Science, Hong Kong Baptist University. He received the PhD degree in Control and System Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. His research focuses primarily on Decision Sciences and Data Analytics, including their applications in business analytics, supply chain risk analysis, healthcare decision support, etc. He has published more than 60 research articles in leading journals, such as European Journal of Operational Research, Computers & Operation Research, and more. He has successfully coordinated and taught across a broad portfolio of course units at all different undergraduate and postgraduate levels at AMBS.

Essentially, technical analysis is looking for trends. By ignoring them, you are putting yourself at a massive disadvantage. By identifying the trends of all asset classes, we are able to put the pieces of the puzzle together to identify profit-making opportunities, regardless of the market environment.    What direction is the market going?If you can answer this one question, you are off to a great start.  People talk about the market being “overbought”, but how can an overwhelming amount of buying pressure be a bad thing?!  We look at overbought or oversold conditions using an oscillator called RSI (relative strength index).  It shows momentum, relative to itself, over time.  In overbought conditions, you are going to see RSI readings above 70.  What you won't see are oversold readings.  Momentum simply doesn't get oversold.  Ultimately, I look at overbought conditions, not as a bearish indicator, but as confirmation that prices are trending higher.   Resources & People Mentioned John MurphyRobert D.

Hong Kong voters are preparing to vote for the first time this weekend since election laws were changed, amid a dearth of opposition candidates months after the city began cracking down on dissent.The legislative elections, to be held Sunday, come after Beijing in March passed a resolution for electoral reform in Hong Kong that gives Beijing more control over who is elected to Hong Kong's legislature. Beijing has tightened its grip over the semi-autonomous Chinese city following months of pro-democracy protests in 2019 that at times descended into violent clashes between police and protesters.Hong Kong later amended its laws in May, reducing the number of directly elected lawmakers to 20 from 35, even as the legislature was expanded from 70 to 90 seats. Most of the lawmakers in the legislature would be appointed by largely pro-Beijing bodies.Under the new laws, legislative candidates will also be vetted by a largely pro-Beijing committee to ensure that only “patriots” loyal to Beijing rule the city.The elections also come amid a crackdown on dissent in the city. Most of Hong Kong's prominent pro-democracy activists and opposition politicians are either in jail or awaiting trial, after 47 pro-democracy figures were charged with subversion under a national security law in January over their roles in an unofficial primary election.Authorities say that the primary — organized by the pro-democracy camp — was aimed at crippling the government and subverting state power.The electoral reforms and stringent vetting processes have also led to fewer pro-democracy candidates. For the first time since 1997, no members from Hong Kong's largest pro-democracy party, the Democratic Party, submitted applications to be nominated.Overall, the number of candidates for the elections has also fallen. This year, the elections committee approved the nominations of 153 candidates — about half of the 289 nominated to run in the 2016 race.Regina Ip, a pro-establishment candidate running in the Hong Kong Island West constituency, said that voters will take some time to get used to the new electoral system.“In the long term, this is a system that permits people of different political ideologies to take part as long as they support our basic constitutional system,” she said. “That is not too much to ask.”Voter turnout is widely expected to be low for Sunday's elections. Polls by the Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute in November found that 53% of respondents opposed the new electoral system, and only 52% planned to vote — which would be the lowest turnout in three decades.But Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam dismissed concerns of low voter turnout, saying that low voting numbers could indicate that people were happy with the government and did not see a need to elect different lawmakers.To encourage people to vote, authorities announced that public transport will be free on Sunday. The government also set up polling stations at border checkpoints that will allow registered Hong Kong voters living and working in mainland China to cross the border briefly to vote, before returning to the mainland without having to undergo quarantine.Earlier this month, Lam said that some 18,000 people had registered to vote at the border polling stations.Some activists abroad, such as London-based Nathan Law, have called for Hong Kong residents to boycott the elections, describing the race as a “selection” in which candidates have been vetted by “political police.”“Figures representing people have no hope of running,” Law said in a tweet earlier this week.New election laws have also banned residents in Hong Kong from inciting others to cast invalid votes or boycott the elections. Those convicted of doing so face up to three years in jail and a 200,000 Hong Kong dollar ($25,600) fine.The new electoral reforms are a “derailing of the democratization process,” said Kenneth Chan, an associate professor in Hong Kong Baptist University's department of g...

By 2020, less than half a year from now, a social credit scheme will cover people and companies across China, “allowing the trustworthy to roam everywhere under heaven while making it hard for the discredited to take a single step.” It’s long been assumed the Chinese state would take the lead, but favored companies will doubtless profit from a database that will house every citizen’s tax records, criminal history, traffic offenses, family background and marriage details. There are signs these companies are likely to export a surveillance-for-profit regime to other regimes keen to keep a close eye on their people. To ask whether China’s future looks like Lei Feng, Black Mirror or Dave Egger’s The Circle, Louisa and Graeme are joined by Gladys Pak Lei Chong and David Kurt Herold of Hong Kong Baptist University.

In April, nine Hong Kong activists were convicted for participating in the pro-democracy Occupy Central and Umbrella Movement protests. One of those was a Baptist pastor, Chu Yiu-Ming. In the courtroom, he painted a vivid picture of the faith that had transformed his life and inspired his activism: “We have no regrets. We hold no grudges, no anger, no grievances. We do not give up,” he said, speaking on behalf of fellow activists striving to bring universal voting rights to Hong Kong. “In the words of Jesus, ‘Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires; The Kingdom of heaven belongs to them!’” (Matt. 5:10) Our coverage of Chu’s sermon was one of CT’s most popular news stories of the year so far, with many on social media praising his bravery. Chu was not the only leader known for his faith. Earlier this month, Joshua Wong, a 22-year-old Hong Kong pro-democracy activist, was returned to prison. Earlier he told World Magazine: As Christians, we are not only responsible for preaching the gospel and then waiting to go to heaven when we die. We need to be bringing heaven down to earth. That seems like a totally idealistic dream, but if we want that dream to come true, how should we let people know that as Christians we don’t focus only on trying to increase our salaries and better our careers? We ask, how can we do more for the people around us?” The Umbrella Movement and Occupy Central Protests have not been welcomed by all Christians. Several years ago, Archbishop Paul Kwong at the Anglican St. John’s Cathedral angered many Hong Kong Christians after saying that pro-democracy activists should remain silent, as Jesus did while being crucified more than 2,000 years ago. “I would like to ask for Christians in the world to pray for Hong Kong—especially for Hong Kong church and Christians—for hearts of love and peace, because I think in the division, we have a lot of hatred and anger in ourselves,” said Wai Luen “Andrew” Kwok, associate professor in the department of religion and philosophy at Hong Kong Baptist University. This week on Quick to Listen we’ll explore what’s at stake in the Umbrella Movement, how Christians have influenced it, but also why it’s divided the church.

Researcher Dr. Eva Lee joins Tim to discuss her work on the front lines in the battle against the opioid epidemic. Dr. Lee is a professor in the School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech, and Director of the Center for Operations Research in Medicine and HealthCare, and her not-so-secret weapons are math, data and analytics. https://traffic.libsyn.com/shapingopinion/Opioids_-_Start_by_protecting_the_innocents_-_Episode_27.mp3   In this episode, we talk with Dr. Lee about her work in trying to tackle challenging problems associated with the nation’s opioid epidemic and how perceptions in the medical community is one key area of focus. This bonus episode is a break from our normal pattern at the Shaping Opinion podcast. Usually, we talk about people, events or things that have found a place in history that truly have shaped the way we think. The nation’s opioid epidemic is different, however. The opioid epidemic is happening now. It’s not history. Our perceptions of the seeming harmlessness of a painkiller or a cough medicine may lead us to choose comfort over temporary discomfort, which has the potential to lead to complications from taking opioids. When we talked to Dr. Eva Lee, we learned that math can be used to identify patient care practices with the best outcomes, and that if those practices spread, society can start to take significant measures to counter the opioid epidemic. Dr. Lee focused her research on the youngest and most vulnerable among us, babies. But not healthy babies. These are babies born with heart defects that typically begin their lives in the Intensive Care Unit and face serious surgeries in the first year of their lives. They are prescribed opioids to alleviate their suffering. But where do we get to the point where the opioids can cause more problems than they solve? And most importantly, what can we learn from Dr. Lee’s research in this area to expand those lessons to children and adults so that the nation can form a more broad-based attack on the opioid epidemic? Dr. Lee is a professor in the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech, and she is Director of the Center for Operations Research in Medicine and HealthCare. She is also a Senior Research Professor at the Atlanta VA Medical Center. She uses mathematical programming and large-scale computational algorithms to help medical and healthcare decision-making. She tackles challenging problems in health systems and biomedicine by bringing a math perspective to healthcare, through systems modeling, algorithm and software design, and decision theory analysis. This work creates a better understanding of what works based on data and analytics so that patient care guidelines across the country can be improved. Dr. Lee was part of a team that was a finalist for a prestigious honor for this work. It is the Franz Edelman Award from the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS). We talked to Dr. Eva Lee about her research and what it means from actual health care practices, to doctor and patient perceptions.

Simeon Man‘s book Soldiering through Empire: Race and the Making of the Decolonizing Pacific (University of California Press, 2018) focuses on the role of Asians who worked within the making of U.S. global power after 1945. Man argues that the Cold War divide between communism and liberal democracy cast Asians into either bad or good—the bad being the Communists and Viet Cong, and the good being military servicemen channeled into American war zones. Following the labor circuits of Asian military workers and soldiers as they navigated an emergent Pacific world, Man reframes Asians as both U.S. citizens and as people from Asian countries like the Philippines, South Korea, and Taiwan. Doing so, Man writes, allows us to understand how U.S. empire took hold through a murky process of decolonization that on its surface sought to create an “Asia for Asians” but actually legitimated and obscured U.S. state violence. At the same time, Man traces other forms of decolonization by Asian soldiers who sought freedom and self-determination beyond the nation-state form, and saw decolonizing projects as permanently suspended and incomplete.

At the same time, Man traces other forms of decolonization by Asian soldiers who sought freedom and self-determination beyond the nation-state form, and saw decolonizing projects as permanently suspended and incomplete.

Simeon Man‘s book Soldiering through Empire: Race and the Making of the Decolonizing Pacific (University of California Press, 2018) focuses on the role of Asians who worked within the making of U.S. global power after 1945. Man argues that the Cold War divide between communism and liberal democracy cast Asians into either bad or good—the bad being the Communists and Viet Cong, and the good being military servicemen channeled into American war zones.

On 12 May 2008, a 7.9-magnitude earthquake hit Wenchuan in Sichuan, claiming more than 85,000 lives, many of them schoolchildren whose classrooms collapsed. It was a paradoxical moment of great tragedy and great hope, with a new sense of openness and civil society emerging in the quake's immediate aftermath. A decade on, its legacy has proved much darker including Great Leap Forward style urbanisation drives and an entrenchment of stability maintenance. In 2008, during the brief window of openness, Louisa reported on the quake for NPR. In March of this year, she convened a panel on the Sichuan Earthquake at the Association for Asian Studies in Washington D.C., featuring Colorado College's Christian Sorace, Georgia State University's Maria Repnikova, Emory University's Xu Bin and Yi Kang from Hong Kong Baptist University. A special issue of Made In China was also produced to mark the anniversary http://www.chinoiresie.info/PDF/Made-in-China-01-2018.pdf.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jean-Pierre Cabestan, ''China's New Foreign Policy Priorities'' Centre for International Policy Studies, University of Ottawa, October 7, 2015. Since Xi Jinping came to power in late 2012, China’s foreign and security policy has become more assertive by the day. Aiming to turn China into a global leader and full-fledged naval power, the new Chinese leadership is clearly prepared to take more risks in order to challenge the U.S. domination of the Western Pacific and return “Asia to the Asians”. Simultaneously, the Xi administration has become more active on the world stage, trying to appear not only as a challenger to the status quo but also a builder of new international norms. As its economic growth slows and its reform plan faces fresh challenges, can China deliver as much as it has promised? Can it really reshape the world economic order, lead the reorganisation of Asia’s diplomatic and security order, and replace the U.S. as the hegemon of East Asia and the Western Pacific? Are the U.S. and its Asian allies (particularly Japan) ready to let this happen? Is Obama’s ‘rebalancing’ strategy an appropriate response to China’s new ambitions? And what other actors can contribute to peace, stability and prosperity in the region? Jean-Pierre Cabestan is Professor and Head of the Department of Government and International Studies, Hong Kong Baptist University. He is also Director General of the European Union Academic Programme in Hong Kong, as well as associate researcher at the Asia Centre, Paris and at the French Centre for Research on Contemporary China in Hong Kong. His most recent books include La politique internationale de la Chine. Entre intégration et volonté de puissance; China and the Global Financial Crisis.

Runrun Shaw, A Legend of A Century - Part One

The logo of Shaw Brothers, the initials of "SB" on a scallop shaped shield, appeared on many of the big movie hits coming out of Hong Kong during the 60s and 70s. Kung-fu movies produced by the Shaw Brothers, the studio owned by Run Run Shaw and his brother Runme Shaw, were widely adored across Asia, and among Chinese communities in western countries. In their heyday, films created by the Shaw Brothers were reportedly watched by 1.5 million people a week. Run Run Shaw's TV empire, Television Broadcasts Limited or TVB, served as the launching pad for the career for many talented individuals including actors Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau, and Stephen Chow, to name just a few. The Chinese programs produced by TVB are seen by 300 million households around the world. Lo Hol Pang is a comic movie star who rose up thanks to a TVB Talent Training Course, a program Shaw established to cultivate actors and actresses. "Go to any place in the world, if Chinese communities exist there, they know us. Even in very remote places, they still know us because they watched us on video tape. Sometimes when a certain TV episode came out on a certain night, the street would become so quite that even bus drivers went home to wait for the episode to be aired." Run Run Shaw was born the sixth child of seven to a wealthy textile merchant in Ningbo, an eastern city close to Shanghai. He therefore received the nickname "Uncle Six". His brother Runme set up a silent film studio, Unique Film Production Co., in 1925 in Shanghai. At the age of 19, Shaw interrupted his study during a summer vacation and went to Singapore to market films to Southeast Asia's Chinese communities with his three brothers: Runji, Runde and Runme. Exactly how the name Run Run came into being remains a mystery. James Wong, lyricist for the theme song of Shaw's hit TV series "The Bund", quoted Shaw in one of his books as saying that the name Run Run imitated the pronunciation of Shaw's original name "Ren Leng" in his local dialect in Ningbo. Actor Chow Yun-fat once joked about how Shaw got the name because back in Singapore he was always running between different Chinese communities, carrying his film rolls and trying to exhibit or distribute their films. Chow's explanation may be a joke, but it somehow reflected the painstaking effort Shaw made to develop the Singaporean film market. Zhu Chunting is Shaw's biographer. "When they first started out in Singapore, they used a rickshaw to carry their screening equipment and ran from village to village to sell their films. It was really hard work." The business of Shaw and his brothers kept growing and eventually they opened 139 movie theaters across the Southeast Asian region. During the 1930s, Shaw also produced The White Golden Dragon, the first Chinese film featuring sound, which created quite a sensation back then. But the advent of World War II destroyed everything. In 1941, the Japanese invaded Singapore, stripped their theaters and confiscated their film equipment. Legend has it that Shaw and his brothers buried gold and jewelry during the war and it was this gold and jewelry that enabled them to resume their business at full strength after the war. In 1957, Shaw returned to Hong Kong which was then the center of the Chinese film industry. He shifted the company's focus from exhibiting films to producing them and renamed the company "Shaw Brothers". He bought a 46-acre plot in Clearwater Bay, Kowloon, shaved a hill there, built and opened Movietown on the land in 1961. The establishment of Movietown, later reputed as "Hollywood East", ushered in the golden age of the 1960s and 1970s during which Shaw popularized a dozen film genres especially Kung fu movies and nurtured a galaxy of female stars. Linda Lin Dai graced Li Han-hsiang's blockbuster opera film "The Kingdom and the Beauty" in 1959. Betty Loh played an elegant and brave young lady who dressed up as a man in order to spend more time with her beloved in 1963 movie "The Love Eterne" which broke office records in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Cheng Pei-pei who later starred a major role in Ang Lee's Oscar Winning film Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, rose to fame after starring in Shaw's pioneering 1966 kung fu movie "Come Drink with Me" as a solemn warrior goddess. Perhaps the only talent that slipped out of Shaw's reach was Bruce Lee who signed a contract with Shaw's rival, Golden Harvest, which was willing to accommodate Lee's high salary demands. Shaw Brothers was considered one of the most productive film studios in the world back then, pumping out 20 to 40 films a year. Stars lived in a dorm on-site, budgets were low and work shifts were tightly arranged. It was almost like an assembly line. Most of Shaw's films featured kung fu, sword fighting or Asian gangsters. But what attracted theater goers was not only the action and fighting, it was also the legacy of traditions embedded in the storylines. Pak Tong Cheuk, Director at the Academy of Films, Hong Kong Baptist University, talks about the attractive elements of Shaw's films. "Where we could find ourselves is in films, especially in Shaw's. We could find a lot of traditional Chinese cultural imagination and reference there."
