🐴 Golden Horse Awards (金馬獎):Often dubbed the "Oscars of Mandarin-language cinema," the Golden Horse Awards celebrate excellence in film production. Focus: Mandarin-language cinema (films where over half the dialogue is in Mandarin or another Chinese dialect). Established: 1962 in Taiwan. Significance: It is the oldest and one of the most respected film awards in the Mandarin-speaking world, contested by submissions from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Mainland China, and other Chinese-speaking regions globally. The Name: The name "Golden Horse" (金馬, Jīnmǎ) is a blend of the names of two outlying Taiwanese islands: Kinmen (金門, Jīnmén) and Matsu (馬祖, Mǎzǔ). Scope: The awards are a part of the larger Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival (TGHFF), which includes the awards competition, a film festival, a film project promotion, and a film academy. Major Categories: Similar to the Academy Awards, categories include:

Wu Kang-Ren(吳慷仁), the laureate of Golden-Horse Award(金馬獎) in 2023. One of most well-known Taiwanese actors in Mandarin-speaking countries.

吳慷仁(Wu Kang-Ren) born in Kaohsiung, Taiwan on November 24th, 1982. Since 2007, Wu Kang Ren has been an active actor in many fields, including TV dramas, movies, music videos, advertisements, and micromovies such as Abang Adik(富都青年), A Touch of Green(一把青) and The World Between Us(我們與惡的距離), Seqalu: Formosa 1867 (斯卡羅), and Light the Night (華燈初上). His roles in works are very diverse from the aircraft pilot, stateless man, to drag queen , and this is the main reason why he won Golden-Horse Award(金馬獎) and Golden Bell Awards (金鐘獎) twice.
