Born in Shanghai, China in 1930, Lee Hsing is a senior Taiwanese film director. After migrating to Taiwan with his family in 1948, he attended the National Taiwan Normal University, where he was active in the drama society. Since 1950, Lee has starred in over 10 Taiwanese language films as well as in theatrical productions.
In 1958, he directed his first Taiwanese-language film titled "Brother Wang and Brother Liu Tour Taiwan," which began the age of Taiwanese-language films. He later directed several realism films, including "Oyster Girl" and "Beautiful Duckling," as well as "Four Loves" and "The Heart with a Million Knots" that are adapted from Chiung Yao's romance novels. All of them received positive reviews.
In 1972, he swept five Golden Horse Awards for "The Autumn Execution." Later in 1978, he directed three films, including "He Never Gives Up," "The Story of a Small Town" and "Good Morning, Taipei," making a new record in Taiwan cinema history by winning Golden Horse Award for best feature for three consecutive years.
In the late 1980s, Lee tried his hand in organizing film festivals, and served as the chairman of the Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival Executive Committee. In 1995, he received the Golden Horse Award for lifetime achievement in 1995. Since then, Lee has devoted himself to cultural exchange between Taiwan and China film industry.
He died of cardiopulmonary arrest in August 2021.
