Grandmaster Bow Sim Mark’s son, kung fu actor Donnie Yen, will star in the upcoming film THE LOST BLADESMAN, which will be released in Asia on April 28. The story is taken from the Chinese classic novel “Romance of the Three Kingdoms.” Yen plays Guan Yu, the most famous hero in Chinese history, and Jiang Wen plays Cao Cao, his nemesis. The episode dramatized by the film is known as “crossing five passes and slaying six generals,” an action packed sequence that sees General Guan facing overwhelming obstacles while escorting his sworn brother’s wife to safety.
