人应该靠自己，迎来平安欢喜

香港五十年代獨一無二的黑幫片。在幫會長大的刀疤項成（王豪），從義父手上繼承了幫會。但是義父的遺孀及親子，卻受到來自城市、愛慕虛榮的女子所誘惑，只重物慾，勾結日本人，把幫會的道義傳統破壞淨盡。項成最後只有以血來清洗。《傳統》將取材自西方的黑幫片結構，加上中國的俠義精神，創出一個傳統道義與腐蝕人心的城市物慾對抗的寓言，成為香港黑幫片一個基本模式。唐煌拍來神完氣足，王豪飾演的刀疤項成，充滿男兒氣概，是五十年代難得一見的「大佬」形象。

"A PhD Candidate" is a film about a Chinese PhD student living in America. He is sponsored by Chinese government. The government pays him some money every month for living expenses. In exchange he has to return to China right after graduation. After coming here, he found he still lives in a small circle of Chinese people isolated from the American society. His professor and peers are also from China. The environment makes him doesn’t have many chances to communicate with American people. And most importantly, he doesn’t think it is necessary to get integrated with the American social life. Since he knows he will not stay in here. He feels it is more comfortable to live in a closed environment. 　　The above is what interested me at the beginning. I intended to make this film of his life to see how this unusual identity influenced him. Along with the process of filming, I realized I was involving in a new form of transnational academic life. In American academia today there are many Chinese PhDs . The full scholarship or funding provided by Chinese government covered their tuition and living expenses. A PhD for them is more like a job, rather than studying. Also their relation with professors is similar to a kind of employment. So the film is not only about the identity of a foreigner, but also about a kind of academic labor outsourcing. Through watching the film the audience may find how it is like in the lower level of the academic pyramid.
