She was the second wife of filmmaker Lai Man-Wai and the mother of actors Lai Hang and Lai Suen. Gigi Lai is her granddaughter.Table of Contents       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Early life[edit]Filmography[edit]In popular culture[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Early life[edit]Florence Lim was born in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, where her grandfather, an immigrant from Xinhui (now part of Jiangmen), Guangdong, China,[1] owned a rice shop.[2] Her father died when she was 3. She attended Chinese Public School in Victoria[2] which allowed her to be proficient in both English and Chinese.[3]  When she was 9, her widowed mother went to Hong Kong to receive medical treatment, and at age 12 Lim joined her in Hong Kong, having completed primary school. In Hong Kong she enrolled in Ying Wa Girls’ School. One of her classmates named Lai Hang-kau (who would later become known as Lai Cheuk-cheuk) introduced her to her uncle Lai Man-Wai. Even though he was 12 years her senior and already married, Lim married him as his second wife in 1920, when she was 15.[2]Lim Cho-cho’s acting career started in Hong Kong when she played the lead role in Rouge (1925), the first film produced by her husband’s China Sun Motion Picture Company. In 1926, China Sun relocated to Shanghai, and there Lim continued to star in silent films such as A Poet from the Sea (1927) and Romance of the Western Chamber (1927). Her credits after China Sun became the Lianhua Film Company in 1930 included A Spray of Plum Blossoms (1931), Song of China (1935), National Customs (1935), and Song of a Kind Mother (1937). Lim particularly excelled in mother roles.[1] Her son Lai Hang also appeared in many films around this time. In 1931, she also acted in the Indian film Kamar-Al-Zaman, an adaptation of a tale from the Arabian Nights directed by Shah G. Agha, where she appeared in the role of princess Budur.[4]During the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937\u20131945), the Lais first returned to Hong Kong when Japan invaded Shanghai in 1937. In Hong Kong Lim continued to act in films, many patriotic and anti-Japanese in nature. Following Japan’s invasion of Hong Kong in 1941, the family escaped to mainland China, first to Chikan, Kaiping, Guangdong, where at one point Lim had to peddle old clothes on the street to make ends meet.[5] When Japanese soldiers overran Kaiping in 1943, they fled again, this time to Guilin, Guangxi, where they ran a photographic studio. After the war ended, the family returned to Hong Kong,[1] and Lim acted again for another 8 years. She retired after her husband’s 1953 death to raise their 9 children. She visited mainland China in the 1970s before her death in Hong Kong in 1979.[1]  Filmography[edit]YearEnglish titleOriginal titleRoleNotes1925Rouge\u80ed\u8102RougeLost1926Why Not Her\u7389\u6f54\u51b0\u6e05Qian MengqiLostThe God of Peace\u548c\u5e73\u4e4b\u795eLost1927A Poet from the Sea\u6d77\u89d2\u8a69\u4ebaYin MeizhenPartially lostA Reviving Rose\u5fa9\u6d3b\u7684\u73ab\u7470LostRomance of the Western Chamber\u897f\u5ec2\u8a18Cui YingyingPartially lost1928Avalokitesvara’s Way\u89c0\u97f3\u5f97\u9053LostFive Revengeful Girls\u4e94\u5973\u5fa9\u4ec7LostThe Retrieval of Huang Leung\u518d\u4e16\u56e0\u7de3LostMulan Joins the Army\u6728\u862d\u5f9e\u8ecdLost1930Dream of the Ancient Capital\u6545\u90fd\u6625\u5922Lost1931A Spray of Plum Blossoms\u4e00\u526a\u6885Shi Luohua (Sylvia)1932Conscienceless\u4eba\u9053Wu RuolianLostAnother Dream of the Ancient Capital\u7e8c\u6545\u90fd\u6625\u5922Lost1933Night in the City\u57ce\u5e02\u4e4b\u591cLost1934Life\u4eba\u751fLost1935National Customs\u570b\u98a8Zhang JieA Little Angel\u5c0f\u5929\u4f7fSong of China\u5929\u502bGrandmother1936Mother’s Love\u6bcd\u611bLiu FenGateways of Body and Spirit\u9748\u8089\u4e4b\u95801937A New-Comer’s Way\u65b0\u4eba\u9053Song of a Kind Mother\u6148\u6bcd\u66f2MotherThe Bomber Wen Shengcai\u6eab\u751f\u624d\u70b8\u5b5a\u74261938Love in Wartime\u6230\u96f2\u60c5\u6dda1939Scent of a Woman\u5973\u5152\u99991940The General\u5cb3\u98dbYue Fei’s motherFlower in a Sea of Blood\u8840\u6d77\u82b11941The Good Father\u5929\u6daf\u6148\u7236On My Own\u964c\u8def\u59bb\u5152Madam ChanSong of Retribution\u6b63\u6c23\u6b4cWang Zhiming’s mother1946The Storm\u5927\u96f7\u96e81947Li Chunhua\u9e97\u6625\u82b11949Gia Liang Kiang Be My Destiny\u975c\u975c\u7684\u5609\u9675\u6c5f1953How the Valiant Dog Saved the Pretty Girl\u7fa9\u72ac\u6551\u7f8ealso co-producer1954Better Your Better Half\u6539\u9020\u592a\u592aLing Ping’s motherIn popular culture[edit]In the 1991 film Center Stage, Lim Cho-cho is portrayed by Cecilia Yip, who spoke Cantonese, Mandarin and English in her role.References[edit]External links[edit]     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki41\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki41\/lim-cho-cho-wikipedia-2\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Lim Cho-cho – Wikipedia"}}]}]
