As the winner of last year's Golden Horse Award for best documentary film--Chronicle of the Sea: Nan-Fang-Ao--was announced, music from the film, by Aboriginal composer Chen Chien-nien, began to play, suffusing the audience with a feeling of wistful warmth. A shorthaired woman without make-up walked shyly on to the stage to receive the award. This was the director, Lee Hsiang-hsiu.
去年金馬獎頒獎典禮上，當頒獎人宣布「最佳紀錄影片」──《南方澳海洋紀事》時，台下即刻襯起了由原住民歌手陳建年特別為此片所配製的音樂，一種溫淡愁情迴盪開來，一位留著短直髮，臉上脂粉未施的女性靦腆步上領獎台，她，就是這部紀錄片的導演李香秀。
