It was my privilege to meet Simon Yam, a legendary actor of Hong Kong, and a very modest and nice person. Of his huge number of films – many were directed by Johnny To, to whom he credited a lot of his success when we were talking at the Asia Pacific Screen Awards several years ago! However, Simon Yam is a great actor and it’s not ALL thanks to the great Johnny To. It was the year of their film,”Sparrow”, which is a very charming and humourous film about a gang of bungling pick-pockets in Hong Kong. I loved that film.
