SYNOPSIS / Editorial Review about - King Of Chess (Golden Harvest Movies)

The King Of Chess is adapted from two novels with the same name. One is written by Ah Cheng (author of KING OF CHILDREN) in China, and the other by Chang Shi-kuo of Taiwan (now professor at the University of Illinois). Though the two stories are set in different social systems with backgrounds as varied as the Cultural Revolution and the Taipei of vast economic growth, they are basically about the same thing --- survival, and freedom. The dedication to the art of chess-playing signifies a kind of liberation, an internal freedom, and ultimately a victory against the odds of social repression and human decadence. The link to the stories is provided by a character called Ching Ling (John Sham), a Hong Kong man who goes to Taipei to help his friend (Ding Yu-mei (Yong Lin), save her ailing TV program 'Whiz Kids World'. In a temple, they find a child prodigy chessplayer Wong Shin-fong, who reminds Ching of a person he met in China
