Gone was the freewheeling spirit that fueled the creativity of the '80s and produced international icons like Jackie Chan. There were exceptions, but too many Hong Kong filmmakers began to churn out timid, formulaic comedies with the same old stars.

A private school graduate, Barbara smiled and socialized her way through the day wearing blue jeans and floppy tops—then sat down to churn out ten-page papers at night. Out of a passion for urban planning, she spent hours riding the T and wandering Boston. She had dated boys in Lowell and Kirkland, but only knew one in Quincy...
