My Take
You simply cannot tell the story of Hong Kong cinema without Raymond Chow. As the founder of Golden Harvest, he launched martial arts film and Hong Kong movies onto the world stage, nurturing era-defining stars like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. What I admire most is his eye for talent and his willingness to give artists room to create; that producer's instinct is what built a golden age. The Gold Bauhinia Star, a Hong Kong Film Awards Lifetime Achievement honor, and an OBE only underline his stature. He's a behind-the-scenes figure who moved an entire culture, and I deeply respect that.
