	TVB: The Greed of Man 1992
		Aside from "Greed", I think the only other villainous role he played was as Yip Goo Shing in the 1976 version of "Lok Siu Fung" where he apparently also received good reviews from many viewers.

		"Greed" is not a series just about their relationship--it's not even a major theme of the series, so the only relevance for a director to do that is to hint at an ending for them.

		Finding the original "Greed" has long been the "Holy Grail" of the cinema, but secretly we all know that the "Grail" is unattainable.

		Watch "Greed" and, I guarantee, you will be deeply ashamed of yourself, not just because you've given Fox another precious hour of your life, but because you'll know the answer to every vacuous question about TV Dinners, dead celebrities and the names of the candy bars in a bag of Hershey's Miniatures.
