Men-Chuan Yang, a fisherman with over half a century of fishing experience, sees the ocean in front of his home as if it were his parents, helping him shoulder the heavy responsibility of being the head of the family. Unlike most Hakka people who have memories of farming, his ancestors had already turned to the ocean for development. Even though his father once laughed at him for being clumsy and slowing down progress, Men-Chuan Yang still maintained diligent practice. He collected broken nets and learned his father's hand-woven fishing net technique. Although the nylon fishing line and netting machines from Japan have already replaced hand-woven fishing nets. But he still strives to pass on the skill of hand-woven netting to his grandson, because repairing fishing nets still relies on manual labor. The holes in the net need to be repaired by hand, and the holes in forgetting need to be avoided by generational inheritance. Men-Chuan Yang watches his grandson weave fishing nets, hoping he will remember the admonition "people must not forget their roots."

Chor Yuen was Gu Long before he started filming Gu Long. The director's first wuxia film, made at Shaws' rival Cathay, finds him relishing in a mode of expression that would later become the signature style of the 'martial-arts suspense thriller' mini-genre. Chor grafts the quasi-psychological stylishness of his Cantonese melodrama onto this actioner, laying on thick the atmosphere by dialling up the fog machine and unleashing the colours from his camera's palette. He also stages his fights in modern dance-like choreography, with moves that are more graceful than ferocious and paused poses that are longer on expressive narcissism than continuity of action. Cold Blade is the quiet beginning of an aesthetic.

Narrated by the incarnate ghost of a deceased real hair donor. In the post-war era, the export of real hair wigs contributed to Asia’s economic development, with Hong Kong as a major hub. In its heyday in the 1960s, ‘Asian real hair’ was popular with wealthy U.S. women, but then the USA imposed an embargo on the product, now classified as ‘communist hair’. This is where the intricate and innovatively realised story begins: Starting with complex economical and sociopolitical contexts, it weaves a thread that runs through various historical and dreamlike staged levels. 　　Hong Kong was and is a space of in-between-ness — between East and West, between communism and capitalism. Perhaps that is why there are so many spooks in the city, one protagonist speculates. Just like the well-travelled ghost, an eternally wandering entity and contemporary witness of an imperial and colonialist past. (源自: Courtisane Festival 2024)
