Lai Man-Wai



Lai Man-Wai (Traditional Chinese: 黎民偉, Mandarin: Li Min-wei, 1893-1953), now known as Father of Hong Kong Cinema, was the director of the first Hong Kong movie Zhuangzi Tests His Wife (莊子試妻) in 1913. Note that in the movie, Lai played the role of the wife himself, partly due to the reluctance of women to participate in show business at that time.
