Enigmatic entertainer- Stephen Chow (2)

Even if one pieces together comments about him, one does not get a full picture of Chow. Fans worship him as a genius and king of comedy, an Asian and an improved version of Jim Carrey. The not-so-flattering labels given to him include mean and harsh, resulting in many of his co-workers leaving him.

He never responds to such comments.

In Hong Kong, he represents the local grassroots culture, while in the mainland he is a cultural hero/icon among the 20- and 30-somethings thanks mainly to his A Chinese Odyssey in 1994. It tells the love story of the Monkey King, which is loosely adapted from the classic novel Journey to the West.

The film was not a commercial success in Hong Kong, but it caught the attention of mainland youngsters who watched it on DVD and the Internet. Some netizens analyzed every detail of the film and thought of it as a masterpiece of post-modernism, which decodes everything but love.

The comment stunned even Chow. When asked about his opinion of post-modernism, he says: "To be honest, I know nothing about it."
