Summary
Pathe synopsis: ...as a Chinese restaurant in London’s West End. It’s here that Lau Ta Po demonstrates an artistic technique which took him ten years to perfect. By using his slender figures and sharpened nails like paintbrushes, the man from Hong Kong can produce a whole catalogue of works, mainly the traditional Chinese scenes of birds, flowers and landscapes.
