Yim-hing Law ( Chinese: 羅艷卿) is a former Chinese actress and Cantonese opera singer from Hong Kong. Law is credited with over 330 films.
In 1929, Law was born in Guangdong Province, China. [1]
At age 10, Law began training in Cantonese opera from Sit Kok-sin. In 1948, Law crossed over as an actress in Hong Kong films. By age 19, Law first appeared in Five Rascals in the Eastern Capital (Part 1), a 1948 Martial Arts film directed by Wong Hok-Sing. With Law's martial arts skills, she appeared as a lead actress in many Martial Arts films. Law appeared as Lady Knight Red-Garbed in Thirteen Heroes with Seven Swords (Part 1 and Part 2), a 1949 Martial Arts film directed by Ku Wen-Chung. Law also appeared with Yam Kim-fai in many films, including Playboy Emperor, a 1953 Historic Drama Musical film directed by Ku Wen-Chung and How Di Qing and the 5 Tigers Conquered the West, a 1962 Cantonese opera film directed by Chu Kei. Law's last film as a lead is The Sword that Vanquished the Monster, a 1969 Martial Arts film directed by Wu Pang. Law's last film is Love Me and Dad, a 1988 Drama film directed by Stephen Shin Gei-Yin. Law is one of the 'Eight Peonies'. Law is credited with over 330 films. [2] [3] [1] [4]
This is a partial list of films.
Law pointed out the selflessness of all lead actors with seniority in the Sit clan because she was the lead actress sharing the limelight with the most junior student of Sit, not withstanding the lack of experience, market value or contribution in the events. [21]
Close-knit culture is still the tradition upheld by all today in this entertainment business generally. By that, students are awarded roles/opportunities in the performances of own masters/teachers/parents without proving their abilities to financial backers or organizing committee in those publicly funded events.
In return, the said junior student was expected to be grateful for being given an opportunity as the center of such attention to debut on stage. That junior student of Sit did not talk about this flopped debut or reprise those roles/titles.
Law's husband was Ho Fei-Fan (1919–1980), an actor. [1]
