About Kuang Hui
Kuang Hui was a Hong Kong film director active in the 1970s, known primarily for directing the martial arts film 'Tiger Love' in 1977. Very limited information is available about this director's career and background, suggesting they may have been a relatively obscure figure in the Hong Kong film industry or possibly worked under different names. The single credited work 'Tiger Love' appears to be their only known directorial effort, which was typical of many directors in the Hong Kong film industry during this period who worked on one or two projects before moving on to other endeavors. The film itself was part of the wave of martial arts cinema that was popular internationally during the 1970s, following the success of Bruce Lee and other kung fu stars. Unfortunately, detailed biographical information about Kuang Hui's life, training, or other potential works in the film industry remains largely undocumented in available film archives and databases.
