The Kid

Adapted from the popular comic strip by Yuen Po-wan, director Fung Fung's socially conscious slice of Cantonese realism tells the tale of a bright young orphan (ten-year-old Bruce Lee) who is taken under the wing of a petty thief. As Little Cheung struggles to do the right thing, kindly factory owner Hung Pak-ho (Lee Hoi-chuen -- Lee's real-life father) attempts to help the boy realize the benefits of honest living by teaching him how to better balance his studies with his work.
