The Shanghai International Film Festival attracted a group of filmmakers.  Directors Tsui Hark, Daniel Lee Yan Kong, Wong Jing and others earlier attended the "Chang Chehand the Big Film Studio Era" forum.  Big Director John Woo (Ng Yu Sum) who halted work due to illness was unable to attend, but his good friend Tsui Hark read his letter about Chang Cheh.  In the letter he mentioned that his son Ng Yi Fong's name came from Chang Cheh's calligraphy "Instruct Son With just ways".  Before Ng Yu Sum headed to Hollywood, Chang Cheh encouraged him with "Inject Eastern Spirit Into Western Technology".  Finally Ng Yu Sum regretted leaving Chang Cheh too soon, now he still wanted to make a movie in his memory.
