“I was so lucky to have a part in a series with such an outstanding team,” said Hu. “It is an honor for everyone devoting to the production.”
Sun Li won the best actress award for her impressive performance of Miyue — the first empress dowager in Chinese history — in “The Legend of Miyue.”
“When I shot the series, my daughter was only 4 months old,” Sun said. “It was a very difficult decision for a mother.”
