Finally, on behalf of the jury, Ms. Zoë C.J.Chen explained their decisions.

'Mr. Tatsuya Nakadai, who received Special Mention, played the father who decides to die in "Japan's Tragedy", with adventurous spirit, intellectuality and overwhelming presence. It was wonderful.

'The Most Promising Talent Award winner, Ms. Huang Peijia performed a double role in "Cha Cha for Twins". It was her first time to perform a double role, but her performance was convincing and attracted viewers.

'The Grand Prix winner "Beloved" depicted a single mother working in a big city in China struggling between her career and family. The story also dealt with the protagonist's personal trauma, which relates to Japan-China history. This viewpoint is new and unique. Also, the drama gently and strongly depicts a family love beyond blood relationships, which impressed the jury.'

After a photo session with award winners, the closing ceremony ended.

She also said that she would like to come to Osaka next time to talk about the film with people in Osaka.
