They are where the famous Xia Meng, Jet Li, Johnnie To, Cherrie Chung and many others started their film careers. The films they produced had not only captured the glamorous of the stars but also vivid sceneries of China.
‧ In his early years, Kong had always said to his friends and families that he loved China and his biggest wish was to visit the Tiananmen. But no one could have guessed that his dream would not come true in the next forty years. Nowadays, when millions of Hong Kong citizens are transiting in and out of China on daily basis, Kong is yet to implement his dream.
