The translation was made for Dragonwood, and it would be better without Tiger, one of Dragonwood inhabitants, messing with it, but good or bad, here it is.

Me: - OK, I don't understand the letter of the lady fan at all, but the answer of a journalist is, I think, clear. "Yuen Biao was born 26 of July, 1957, in Hong Kong and his name was then Chan Hung Biao".

Warsaw Tiger: - !???!!

Me - I know it looks like a complete new version of a curriculum vitae, but I am only translating, a Trinity is a Trinity and what you want from me? I am only a cleaning woman, as it is the saying here.

The rest of the discussion:

- OK, so now we know when he was born. A Lion. If we know where to send greetings at his birthday, we could do it.

- From my point of view he has the looks of a Scorpio. But Carl Gustav Jung was born on the same day of the month and he was not the typical Lion also. By the way, do you enjoy my translation?

- Ha, ha, very funny. OK, back to work. What do you have?

- There is some things about his teacher, wait a moment. "When Yuen's parents enrolled him into the Chinese Opera Research Institute the friendship between him, Samo Hung and Jackie Chan started". For sure the name of their teacher was Yu Shan Yan, and he had some contacts with Hong Kong filmmakers. Then the fragment I don't understand at all.

- Try to shoot.

- The Three started then to perform as statists and stuntmen.

- Perhaps. I understand Stuntman in the article.

- Then for sure is the information about the "Painted Faces" movie as a homage to the teacher. You know, the cult - movie Sammo Hung was the director. And something about Yuen as the youngest of the three, being the "little brother" and Sammo being the oldest and paving the way for the rest. Then the information about the "Enter the Dragon" movie as a start for them and the next cult film, "Prodigal Son" in which Yuen Biao was starring.

- Cult movie? I thought all movies of the Trinity were cult movies.

- The journalist thinks that also. Then something about the movies Yuen Biao was doing without his brothers, "Above the Law", "Peacock King" and "Licence to Steal".

- So I guessed right.

- At the end there is something about "The Setting Sun" movie done with Donald Sutherland and Diane Lane and about the "Kickboxer" movie as the thing he was doing recently and "Drunken Master 2" together with Jackie Chan, something about the legendary master Wong Fei Hung.

- Everything?

- Yeah, but, you know, at the same time I dreamed I saw him in the movie of Woody Allen, with the normal for Allen's films idiotic yuppie chatter about gender discrimination at some party, and he was doing the part of a mute ET, sitting there with the smug expression of knowing better. I mistook American directors, perhaps. And perhaps that would be a movie! Mr. Allen, where are you when I need you?

And with this optimistic remark my cooperation with the Tiger ended for the day.
