Mr Raymond Chow Man-wai, the man whose name was synonymous with gongfu legend and cultural icon Bruce Lee, has died at the age of 91. Known as the 'godfather of the Hong Kong film industry', Mr Chow had been the one who introduced Bruce Lee to the world after the late gongfu star appeared on Hong Kong's popular variety show Enjoy Yourself Tonight. Long-time friend Robert Chua, widely known as the pioneer of terrestrial television in Hong Kong, told The Straits Times on Friday (Nov 2) that Mr Chow's death 'is a loss to the film industry'.
