Her work helped define the Hong Kong New Wave, with films that move across genres but return to her perennial theme \u2014 the struggles of everyday life at the margins, portrayed without sentiment: Vietnamese refugees in <em>Boat People<\/em> (1982), a daughter\u2019s reckoning with her Japanese mother in <em>Song of the Exile<\/em> (1990), the small dignities of working-class life in <em>The Way We Are<\/em> (2008), an aging servant and the family she raised in <em>A Simple Life<\/em> (2011).<\/p>\n<p>\n\tHui is already one of the most decorated directors of her generation. She has won best director at the Hong Kong Film Awards six times, more than any filmmaker in the ceremony\u2019s history, and three times at Taiwan\u2019s Golden Horse Awards. Twice \u2014 with <em>Summer Snow<\/em> in 1995 and <em>A Simple Life<\/em> in 2011 \u2014 her work swept best film, director, actor and actress at the Hong Kong awards. In 2020, she became the first female director to receive Venice\u2019s Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement, sharing that year\u2019s honor with Tilda Swinton. She was previously honored in Busan in 2014 as the Asian Filmmaker of the Year.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=5118\">Tedde Moore, Ralphie\u2019s Teacher in \u2018A Christmas Story,\u2019 Dies at 79<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tEstablished in 2024, the Camellia Award takes its name from a flower that is both Busan\u2019s civic emblem and, famously, Gabrielle Chanel\u2019s favorite.
