Director , Scriptwriter , Actors/Actress
Discovered in the streets of Taipei by TSAI Ming-Liang in 1991, LEE Kang-Sheng became the right-hand man that TSAI's films can't do without. Some say that the film of TSAI Ming-Liang is the face of LEE Kang-Sheng. He won the Best Actor Award at the Nante Three Continents Film Festival for his performance in "Vive L'amour," and the Best Actor Award at the Manila International Film Festival for his performance in "What Time is it There?"
"The Missing" is his debut feature film as a writer/director after 12 years of acting. Currently, he is preparing for his second film, "Help Me."
