Overview
The Rickshaw Boy (1981) was another product of James Wong Howe’s wishes. In 1980, Yung travelled to Beijing to film retired old-time rickshaw pullers and their lives with family. The footage was juxtaposed with older footage by Howe who had gone to China in 1948 to shoot an adaptation of Lao She’s novel Rickshaw Boy. Beijing was still Peking in a way, but the times had changed.
