Director Hou said that it was the first time he brought his wife to the Golden Horse Award. After making movies for such a long time, he only had one thought: he did so willingly.

Bak Ji not only thanked the director, the jury and the team but also publicly thanked lead actor Aaron Kwok Fu Sing. He said, "Sing Sing, thank you, I am nobody, I never thought about acting with you. You never looked down on me, instead you took great care of me and gave me a hand. You supported me by my side, thank you very much. With you around, I felt very peaceful. You brought me into character, but I forgot to ask you how to get out." He also thanked other actors in the film and his colleagues at the Performing Art Academy like Louis Cheung Kai Chung and Joey Leung Cho Hiu. He also thanked his parents and his sisters.

She said that the happiest for an actor was to participate in a quality team with workers and a good director who would risk life and death with her and. She said, "Without Chang Tso-Chi, there would be no Lu Hsueh-Feng."
