This year would have been Bruce Lee's 70th birthday. Au Kam Tong and Eric So added new footage to Ah Tong's 11 year old independent film WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO, SAI FUNG (1959 MAU NIN MAU) for a new edition. They created a "Bruce Lee" with the most intricate craftsmanship and embodied Bruce Lee's quote, "Using no way as a way, using no limitations as a limitation."

Earlier the duo held a special screening and invited over 100 university students to attend. After the screening they set up a forum for interactive exchanges. Ah Tong said, "Now many young people only heard of Bruce Lee but have no idea what he did. I want to through the screening deepen the post 80 and even the post 90 understanding of Bruce Lee."

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO, SAI FUNG was an Au Kam Tong directed and starred independent film, a salute to Bruce Lee. In 1999 it was released in cinemas. The story was an experience in Bruce Lee's youth before he left Hong Kong for the U.S. It was also a film was in memory and salute of Bruce Lee.
