Quote:
“Wan Jen characterized himself as a “commercial” director and an intellectual. All his films dealt with Taiwan history or current social issues. His first feature-length narrative, Ah-Fei/Youma caizi (1984), based on female writer Liao Hui-ying’s popular novel of the same title, reflected the fate of women in the first three-quarters of the 20th century, as well as the change of women’s position in Taiwan from agricultural society in the 1950s to industrialized society in the 1980s. The film won the Best Adapted Screenplay (Hou Hsiao-hsien and Liao Hui-ying) award at the 1984 Golden Horse Awards.”
