After Zhou Xun was banned from Busan, he "thanked his parents for giving him freedom." His 30-year life confession brought tears to his eyes

The 31st Busan International Film Festival concluded today (15th). Zhou Xun won the "Best Actor" in the main competition category with his new film "First Taste of Loneliness", sharing the honor with the 16-year-old Japanese actor Himeno Hanaharu who won the award for "Satoko Is Always Like This" (tentative title).

On stage, Zhou Xun turned her acceptance speech into a confession about "life changes". She said that her career as an actress has lasted for more than 30 years. At this age, she is increasingly aware that life is constantly changing, and "The First Taste of Loneliness" started from a drastic life change. She laughed and said that of course there are also changes that people are looking forward to. "I am also looking forward to receiving this award today."

"First Taste of Loneliness" begins with the separation of a loved one and describes three generations of women facing life and death, misunderstanding, regret and reconciliation. When Zhou Xun talked about the character at the Busan premiere a few days ago, he cried on the spot because he thought that "everyone will experience the separation of a loved one."

What really made Zhou Xun's emotions break down was her parents. After she thanked director Gu You and all the staff in front and behind the scenes, she said in particular: "You must say important things." Then she thanked her parents for giving her life and giving her enough freedom to "let me be myself." When she said the last sentence, "Mom, Dad, I love you," she couldn't help but choke up, turning it into a private confession of life.

In addition, not only Zhou Xun won the award for "First Taste of Loneliness", but also the sound director Li Danfeng won the Artistic Contribution Award, taking home two awards in one go; Taiwanese director Li Yun-chan won the best director for "Useful Man", but unfortunately the three South Korean films were not included.
