Thanks for the superb information, commentary and analysis, much appreciated. It's important to find out the truth and do justice. My heart goes to Mr Chan's daughter. I reckon she's filled with regret and guilty feelings of not able to find justice for her father when he's still alive due to the Laus' popularity.
perfect plan : 1) in the name of 记协 interview 桥叔; 2)solicit photos from 桥叔 in the name of potential photo exhibition by记协 to honor 桥叔 ; 3) review the photos which were considered of value, therefor plan to publish a book; 4) apply for scmp consent; 5) request joyce nip to arrange for a 记协 桥叔photo show. Purpose of the photo exhibition was to boost their own names, promote sale of their photo book, and satisfy 桥叔with honor to save the need for compensation to him; Perfect if things could work out as planned
