Below, film historian Frank Djeng discusses how it could be time for Lo's voluminous body of work to be re-evaluated.
Do you think Lo's work has been overlooked?
Yes, I think it's time to reassess his accomplishments. He was one of Shaw Brothers' most prominent directors between 1964 and 1970, directing close to 20 films there.
His The Golden Buddha (1966), which is a really fun James Bond-style film, was the first Shaw movie to take HK$1 million, and Lo was the first to be called a 'million-dollar director'.

Hong Kong festival to feature animal-shaped hot-air balloons, Cantopop concerts
Hot-air balloons in the shapes of animals such as a panda, dinosaur and rabbit will fly against the Hong Kong skyline as part of a coming four-day megafestival in September, along with nightly concerts starring Cantopop singers such as Joey Yung Cho-yee and Leo Ku Kui-kei. The organiser said on Monday that it expected the AIA International Hot Air Balloon Fest Hong Kong to draw 80,000 international visitors and residents alike between September 4 and 7, which could boost tourism and local spending in the city. 'We hope that tourists from the mainland and overseas would, because of the hot-air balloons, reconsider Hong Kong as a travel and leisure destination in Asia,' said Joey Chan Pui-kwan, chief operating officer of Grand Events Asia. 'Local families are also our target audience. We hope that the hot-air balloon festival will encourage more Hongkongers to spend in the city and to enjoy a brand new experience.' The HK$30 million (US$3.8 million) festival at the Central Harbourfront Event Space will have six large hot-air balloons measuring up to 20 metres (66 feet) tall, complemented by more than 10 smaller ones from countries such as Canada, Germany and Japan. Stalls for games, food and shopping will also be featured as part of the festival. Chan highlighted that her team had taken reference from hot-air balloon festivals around the region and was confident that the variety of balloons would allow for a fresh display, as she hoped for the event to be hosted annually in the city.

Chocolate can be more than a sweet treat, these Hong Kong chefs and mixologists prove
Almost all of us enjoy some chocolate now and then, whether you're a 95 per cent cacao purist or a heretic happy to nosh on white 'chocolate'. Yet few of us are probably aware that chocolate's origins are far removed from the sweet treat we know today. Long before it became a global indulgence, chocolate was treasured by the ancient Mayans and Aztecs, who used cacao beans as currency and brewed them into a bitter, spiced drink mixed with chilli and cornmeal. When it first reached Europe in the 16th century via Spanish conquistadors, chocolate remained a savoury beverage for the aristocracy. The sweetened version we know and love only began to emerge later, in the 18th century. This World Chocolate Day, we spotlight Hong Kong's most inventive chefs and bartenders who are taking chocolate back to its roots. Whether in the kitchen or behind the bar, they're showcasing how this ancient ingredient continues to evolve far beyond the classic chocolate bar or dessert plate. Otera – Chocolate Sourdough and Black Garlic Chocolate Butter Otera creates a satiny sourdough infused with dark chocolate and baked perfectly to achieve a nice crust. Photo: Handout With so many pastry shops in Hong Kong these days, it can be hard to stand out from the crowd, but Otera leaves a lasting impression with its bold, umami-inspired desserts. Chocolate isn't just a sweet for Otera – it's treated like a spice. 'If we trace back to the roots of chocolate, it wasn't meant to be simply sweet, but treated as a spice to elevate other ingredients,' says founder Joanna Yuen. That philosophy comes to life in Otera's signature chocolate sourdough served with black garlic chocolate butter. The team first experimented with raw garlic, but the result was too sharp and overpowering. The breakthrough came with fermented black garlic, which offers a deep-roasted caramelised sweetness and chewy texture. Blended with dark chocolate and butter, it transforms into a savoury, umami spread that is complex and surprisingly addictive. The natural glutamate in black garlic smooths out the bitterness of the dark chocolate, while the slightly chewy, moist sourdough provides the perfect canvas for this unusual combination. The result? A 'weird but wonderful' pairing, in Yuen's words – and we agree. Leela – Chocolate Chili Chaat

Jaap van Zweden returns for Hong Kong Philharmonic concert featuring Augustin Hadelich
In the rarefied world of orchestral performance, few debates are as enduring or as divisive as the question of leadership. Does transcendent artistry emerge from the iron will of a single visionary, or through the alchemy of collective insight? This question has resurfaced with fresh urgency in light of a recent documentary examining the methods of Jaap van Zweden, a Dutch conductor and former music director of the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra whose exacting, often fiery rehearsals defined his uncompromising approach to interpretation. The orchestra's season-closing concert on July 4 marked his return as conductor emeritus for the first time since the film, and became an unintentional masterclass in this very tension. It was intensified by the fact that van Zweden will be succeeded by the 25-year-old Finnish phenomenon Tarmo Peltokoski , a rising star who champions dialogue and collective input. Jaap van Zweden conducts the Hong Kong Philharmonic in Hong Kong on July 4, 2025.
