[Reporter Zhong Zhijun/Reporting from Taipei] A harassment scandal broke out in the Hong Kong entertainment industry! Chung Xueying and Yuan Lilin, both nominated for Best Actress in "Golden Horse 63" this year, have recently spoken out on social platforms to expose the long-term situation in which actresses have been objectified and disrespected.

The incident started when Golden Horse Best Actress Chung Xueying was dissatisfied with a cultural writer who described her performance in the new film "The Good Man" as a "rarely erotic performance". She was so angry that she publicly retaliated. Unexpectedly, this statement unexpectedly caused the same vying for Best Actress. Yuan Lilin decided not to hold back anymore and published a nearly 3,000-word long article in one breath, revealing that he had been verbally humiliated by a male reporter, had a male director make sexual comments about his appearance, and was even kissed on the cheek by a male senior actor without permission on the set.

When the cultural writer introduced the film "The Good Man" starring Chung Xueying, he used "the most erotic performance in her film career, which is quite shocking" as a promotional selling point, which made Chung Xueying very dissatisfied. She directly responded publicly on the IG limited time update: "I am so disgusted with your text!" He pointed out that the other party was simply trying to please others.

This speech unexpectedly triggered Yuan Lilin's past experience. She immediately published the article "Those Apologies That Will Never Come" published in "Extra" magazine, exposing the grievances accumulated in the entertainment industry over the years.

Yuan Lilin recalled that to promote the movie "E-Sports Girl", she was interviewed by the media together with other female actors and directors. There were seven women present. Unexpectedly, a male cultural reporter had just sat down and blurted out, "I seem to be sitting tight on the stage," implying that he felt like he was in a nightclub with a female escort.

Yuan Lilin felt offended on the spot and asked the other party to apologize, but in the end the matter was ignored when everyone tried to ease the embarrassing atmosphere. What is shocking is that she revealed that this was not the first time she had experienced this. In the past, a male director had commented on her appearance based on whether it could arouse sexual desire. She had also been offended by male front-of-house staff using vulgar words about sexual organs. A male senior even kissed her on the cheek without prior consent during filming.

After the incident spread, the Hong Kong cultural writer and film critic "Red Eye", who was identified by the outside world, later issued a public apology and admitted that he did make inappropriate jokes when he visited the crew of "E-Sports Girl". He also knew that Yuan Lilin had expressed his disgust at the time, but did not immediately formally apologize. He was deeply ashamed of this. He also admitted that his recent comments on "The Good Man" were also quite disrespectful, and once again apologized to the actors and creators who were offended.

In an interview on the evening of the 13th, Zhong Xueying also said that the other party had expressed her apology after she raised her dissatisfaction, but what she and Yuan Lilin really wanted the outside world to think about was not simply to pursue individuals, but how people should respect each other's boundaries.
