Having said that, Yip also reveals (and here perhaps his lasting affection for Taiwan makes him slightly biased!) that after having worked with virtually every contemporary director in Hong Kong, mainland China, and Taiwan, Tsai Ming-liang and Ang Lee-both Taiwanese with foreign backgrounds-are the two directors with whom he feels himself to be on the same wavelength, and with whom there is an innate mutual comprehension when conversing.
或許是土地情懷加了點分，讓他與兩岸三地的當代重要導演幾乎都合作過後，蔡明亮和李安這兩位有著異國背景的台灣導演仍是他認為頻率最相近、談起話來彷彿找到知音般的導演。
