As a child, he joined the American College in Assiut Governorate, where he was included from the primary stage until he obtained his baccalaureate degree at that time.
Or high school, after that he joined the Faculty of Law and was the first in his class during the four years
He is the great artist “Mansi Fahmy”, one of the geniuses of Egyptian art
His real name was Mansi Absakhron Fahmy, who was nicknamed “The Monk of Egyptian Art.” He was born in a village in Assiut Governorate on April 7, 1890.
After graduating from the Faculty of Law, he worked as an employee in the mixed courts in Assiut for a short period, then joined the judiciary until he became the judge of the mixed courts in all Egyptian courts.
He had two sons, one of whom was named Iskandar, who graduated from the Faculty of Law, and he worked in the field of cinema, and the second son, whose name was Fahmy, was raised morally undisciplined and had many female relations
He frequented pubs and bars, and he had a relationship with the wife of one of his neighbors, who was traveling to work in Alexandria and returning on Thursday and Friday. Fahmy used to frequent this neighbor’s wife during her husband’s absence at work.
On one occasion, his neighbor’s wife offered him to kill the husband in order to clear the atmosphere for them, but Fahmy refused to match her demand, so the neighbor established a relationship with a mechanic and his workshop is under her house
I proposed to him the idea of getting rid of the husband, and he agreed and arranged for her a plan to invite Fahmy to spend a night with her, and the mechanic would call the husband to tell him that his wife was cheating on him to come from Alexandria
And if the wife leaves the door of the house open for him, and after the husband climbs up and finds Fahmy with his wife, they will clash with each other. He advised the wife to make Fahmy drink as much alcohol as possible.
Indeed, after Fahmy went up to his neighbor, the mechanic called the deceived husband, who came in a hurry from Alexandria, and when the husband entered, he found Fahmy on his bed.
With his wife he clashed with him and he was very drunk, so the mechanic entered from behind at that moment and the husband rushed with a severe blow to his head that killed him and the mechanic fled.
The police came to arrest Fahmy, who was unable to prove his innocence, and who confirmed that he saw a ghost killing the husband and could not identify his features because of his drunkenness.
His father, Mansi Fahmy, who was still a judge at the time, insisted that he be the judge in this case. Indeed, his son was sentenced to death by hanging despite his knowledge and certainty.
His son was not killed, but his justification was that his son’s bad morals is what led him to what was in it on the day of the execution of the sentence. He insisted that he be a witness to the execution process.
Execution in his son, and after the execution of the sentence, he buried his son, then submitted his resignation from the judiciary and sat at his home for 6 years in a state of severe depression.
When the great artist Najib Al-Rihani heard his story, he turned to him and offered him to work with him in the theater and that there is a role he will play that is the same as his role in his son’s case.
With strong insistence by Najib Al-Rihani, Mansi Fahmy agreed, and his beginning was in the field of art. He later participated in the Association for the Promotion of Arab Representation, after which he worked with Munira Al-Mahdiyya, Ali Al-Kassar, Abdul Rahman Rushdi, George Abyad and Youssef Wehbe.
