Once Upon a Time in China (Wong Fei Hung)
(1991, Hong Kong) 134 min. Directed by Hark Tsui and starring Jet Li. Sponsored by the History Club (PhAThH). Introduced by Wai-hung Wong, Philosophy and Humanities Center*
Set in late 19th century Canton, this martial arts film depicts the stance taken by the legendary martial arts hero Wong Fei-Hung (1847-1924) against foreign forces’ (English, French and American) plundering of China. When Aunt Yee arrives back from America totally westernized, Wong Fei-Hung assumes the role of her protector. This proves to be difficult when his martial arts school and local militia become involved in fierce battles with foreign and local government.
*Part of the Humanities Center’s year-long theme “Memory, Nostalgia, Ruins.”
