Blanchett presented Xu Anhua with the award |
Xu Anhua said in his acceptance speech that in the difficult moment, this award brings encouragement to herself and the people of Hong Kong. She wants to bring this honor to Hong Kong because this is where she grew up and spent her life, giving herself education, life experience and opportunities to realize her self-worth. She also said that she would go back to help young filmmakers so that they can also receive lifetime achievement awards in the future. Long live the movie!

In addition, the film "The First Incense" directed by Xu Anhua and starring Ma Sichun, Yu Feihong and Peng Yuyan was also shortlisted for this year's Venice Film Festival. Recently, the first official trailer of the film was released, which once triggered public discussion on issues such as film casting and adaptation.
