Hong Kong actress Chung Suet-ying won the best actress trophy at the prestigious Golden Horse Awards in Taiwan on Saturday, while a directing duo from the city took top honours in the category for best documentary short film.
Chung, 29, earned the accolade for her performance as a deaf girl in The Way We Talk, beating four other nominees including veteran Hong Kong actresses Sandra Ng Kwan-yue and Patra Au Ga-man.
During her acceptance speech, Chung described herself as “a film lover” and thanked Hong Kong’s deaf community using sign language.
It was Chung’s second nomination in a row for best actress at the Golden Horse Awards.
Hong Kong directing duo Chan Cheuk-sze and Kathy Wong Kei-yiu won the award for best documentary short film with their politically minded Colour Ideology Sampling.mov.
Their 59-minute documentary discusses the political symbolism of colours, from yellow in Hong Kong’s anti-government movement protests to green and blue in Taiwan.
Beijing sees Taiwan as part of China to be reunited by force if necessary; the US and most other countries do not recognise the island as an independent state, but Washington opposes any attempt to take it by force and is committed to supplying it with weapons.
Chan spoke about the film’s symbolism during her acceptance speech.
“We don’t need to fear darkness, as light and shadow coexist with one another. Only by entering the darkness can we see the true light of our times,” Chan said.
Wong thanked her parents for their support and “not forcing her to become a doctor”, while also recognising the roles the media played in developing critical thinking.
