What happens

The Kid (also known as Kid Cheung and My Son A-Chang) is a 1950 Hong Kong drama film starring the then 9-year-old Bruce Lee in his first leading role in the title role of "Kid Cheung", and based on a comic book character written by Yuen Bou-wan, who also has a role in the film. The film co-stars Lee's real life father, Lee Hoi-chuen, and Fung Fung. This is the second film in which the father and son worked together on, the other being The Birth of Mankind in 1946.
