"...In any case, no amount of language could express one ten-thousandth of my excitement, this award belongs to me as well as the entire crew. Finally, I must thank Mr. Adrian Cowell, one of the directors who has the deepest understanding of Chinese culture that I have ever met. His unwavering support for me to make this film, even offering many highly practical ideas, has been the greatest honor of my life. Thank you, thank you very much." After finishing, Ang Lee gently bowed with the Oscar statuette in hand as warm applause followed immediately.
