Chor Yuen was Gu Long before he started filming Gu Long. The director's first wuxia film, made at Shaws' rival Cathay, finds him relishing in a mode of expression that would later become the signature style of the 'martial-arts suspense thriller' mini-genre.

He also stages his fights in modern dance-like choreography, with moves that are more graceful than ferocious and paused poses that are longer on expressive narcissism than continuity of action. Cold Blade is the quiet beginning of an aesthetic.

Anhedonia is a quiet, introspective short film that explores the invisible transition from childhood innocence to the emotional stillness of adulthood. Through fragmented memories of friendship, laughter, and carefree days, the film contrasts the warmth of the past with the cold repetition of the present. As time moves forward, joy slowly fades into routine, and life becomes a cycle of silent moments and unspoken thoughts. What once felt alive and limitless begins to feel distant, almost unreal.
