Ang Lee the director of “Brokeback. Mountain” , won the Best Director Award at the 78th Academy Awards Lee is the first Chinese to receive the honour , considered the highest in American cinema and the most influential worldwide.

    “I’m deeply proud of him”, guched Kate Wang ,granddaughter of Wang Dulu ,whose marual arts novel inspired lee’s “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” in 2000.

    “Ang Lee’s movie is very touching .It’s simple but perfect,” commented Zhang Yuan, a Chinese film director of the “Sixth Generation” “I sincerely congratulate him .He is the pride of all Chinese directors everywhere”

    Despite the Best Director Award , the film “Brokeback Mountain” lost to “Crash” in the Best Picture. It was widely seen as an upset because “Brokeback” had been winning all kinds of prizes ,from the Golden Bear in Venice ,to the Golden Globe and the Independent Spirit Awards ,and was seen by most observers as shoo-in for the highest Oscar.

    An anonymous（匿名的）posting on Sina com summed up what many moviegoers expressed in one way or another , “Now that Ang Lee has got all the big international awards, Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige need not compete for the title of No. 1 Chinese Director anymore”

    Other voices were less congratulatory. Dayyan Eng, a Chinese American who started his filmmaking career in Beijing ,did not think “Brokeback” is as good as “The Ice Storm” an Ang Lee film from 1997.

    Liu Miaomiao, a director of independent films, rationalized that Hollywood would not give the top award to “Brokeback” because of political reasons.

    Sai Ren ,a film critic with CCTV6 ,a film channel ,noted that Lee’s achievement had little to do with Chinese cinema .He suggested that people watch the show just to enjoy it .

    D．An Argument about Ang Lee

If you love your husband, leave him alone. And if you think you are attractive, don't say it.

This is what Jane Lin did for her husband Ang Lee, who last week became the first Asian to have  41  the best director Oscar award for his love movie "Brokeback Mountain."

Ang Lee was  42  upon graduation with a master's degree in film production from New York University in 1984. He had to stay at home as a  43  husband until 1990.

Jane did not for once think of leaving him,  44  would many modern girls who are  45 to play with rich directors and abandon them once they're  46  on their luck.

47  despair surrounded her now and then, Jane  48  Ang and believed he was cut out to be a genius  49  - only his time had not yet  50 .  For six years, Ang was supported  51  by Jane, who earned a meager salary as a microbiologist in the United States.

At one time, Ang wanted to  52  computer science so as to find a job quickly, but Jane  53 . She simply would not let her poor but  54  husband go out and find just any old job.

In  55  six years, Ang wrote many screenplays and at the same time became a great cook.

Ang has said time and  56  that he would never have  57  without Jane's love and trust.

But  58  an Associated Press story released on Wednesday, Jane said  59 : "I did not support him, I just left him alone."

The Associated Press quoted Taiwanese producer Huang Yi-kung, who produced Ang's famed Chinese-language movies - "The Wedding Banquet" in 1993 and "Eat Drink Man Woman" in 1994 ―as saying that Ang's thanks to Jane and memories of past  60  were never superficial.
