- ‘ The UK’s Chinese-British community is one of the largest settlements of its kind in the world and possibly the oldest in Europe, with the first arrivals from China in the early 19th Century settling in such port cities as Liverpool and London. Despite this history – and intervening episodes such as the ‘opium wars’ and the Hong Kong question – there have been relatively few Chinese themes and characters on British cinema screens.’ - FEF & BFI, 2013
