For so many around the world, it was in the cinema that

they saw their �rst glimpse of martial arts. Through the

�lms of Lau Kar Leung, among others, they came to

appreciate the power and skill of many kung fu

techniques. However devotees and practitioners of kung

fu and Hung Kuen were aware of the much longer

tradition of these arts and in particular, the contribution

of both the Lam family and the Lau family.

In 2009 the Hong Kong Government endeavoured to

identify and recognize forms of intangible cultural

heritage. It was this awareness of a vibrant part of Hong

Kong history and culture which led to the creation of

the Hong Kong Martial Arts Living Archive, and from

this the exhibition, Lingnan Hung Kuen Across the

Century: Kung Fu Narratives in Hong Kong Cinema

and Community. In the exhibition and this companion

book, the histories of the Lam and Lau families are

traced, and their role in preserving and creating new

stances and forms and bringing Hung Kuen to a wider

audience through the medium of �lm. Using the latest

technologies including 3D imagery, the work of past

masters has been here brought back to life.
