Taipei, Nov. 17 (CNA) Taiwanese actress Hsieh Ying-xuan (謝盈萱) won her first best leading actress award at the 55th Golden Horse Awards in Taipei on Saturday, beating other four Chinese contenders to keep the award at home.

Hsieh was recognized for her compelling performance in the movie “Dear EX,” in which she plays a woman whose deceased husband had bequeathed his assets to his secret gay lover, disinheriting his wife and only son.

The 38-year-old was streaming tears as she accepted her award, saying she was honored to be nominated along with her fellow nominees.

“I will keep learning hard,” said Hsieh, who was better known as a stage actress but started gaining recognition in cinema when she appeared in “Au Revoir Taipei” in 2010.    [FULL  STORY]
