She was born in Liaoning, grew up in Macau, and was educated in Hong Kong. She grew up and explored in the gap between Chinese and Western cultures. After obtaining a master's degree in English and Comparative Literature from the University of Hong Kong, she went to London to further her studies. There, she discovered movies and hasn’t stopped since.
Under the tutelage of King Hu, his debut film ushered in a new wave of Hong Kong films; he wandered between business and art, genre and literature, constantly exploring the wandering state of himself and the city; he won six gold statuettes and three golden horses, but still had to worry about investment difficulties; from winning numerous awards in his early years to hitting rock bottom, he never gave up the opportunity to be loyal to his creations.
Art director Wen Nianzhong directs the film for the first time, looking back at Ann Hui's more than 40-year career, capturing her true nature of being friendly, authentic, and impetuous, and also seeing the emotional bond between her and her mother.
She has always been sincere about movies and Hong Kong, and movies have accompanied her to live a fulfilling life.
