In 1996, on the eve of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, and also the year after the death of Teresa Teng, "Sweet Honey" used this special era background to tell the difficult years of new Hong Kong immigrants in Hong Kong at the end of the 20th century, and used Teresa Teng's song "Sweet Honey" throughout, showing the historical changes in the decade before the return of Hong Kong.

Chen Kexin won the best director for the second time, Maggie Cheung won the best actress for the third time, Beijing-born Dawn was nominated for best actor for the first time, and "Sweet Honey" won a total of 9 Academy Awards, becoming the most in history.

Shu Qi, a Taiwanese girl who debuted through a "Jade Girl Heart Sutra", was only 20 years old this year, won the best new actor and best supporting actress, and later became one of the favorite actresses of major directors in Hong Kong and mainland China.

Fat cat Zheng Zeshi defeated Jackie Chan, Zhang Guorong, Liu Qingyun and other masters this time, became the Film Emperor of the Academy Awards for the second time, and then returned to the TV circle and concentrated more on being a fat cat. Tang Jili won the best action guidance for the second consecutive time, and Jackie Chan's internationalization process has gone one step further.

However, a very significant change was not reflected in the Academy Awards. In the year before Hong Kong's return to the motherland, Wang Jing, Wen Jun and Liu Weiqiang joined forces to create the best film company, and within a year, they launched three consecutive episodes of "Ancient Puzzle Boy", which caused a great sensation at the time and had a profound impact on the entire Chinese-speaking region in the next ten years. In 1996, 3 "Ancient Puzzle Boys" were released consecutively and entered the top 10 at the box office, and there were more than 10 Ancient Puzzle Boy movies filmed throughout the year. At the Academy Awards, only Huang Qiusheng in "Ancient Puzzle Boy 3 Hands Covering the Sky" was nominated for a best supporting actor.

Perhaps the two-time Academy Awards Best Screenwriter Cheung Kin-ting's "The Last Bodyguard of the Governor of Hong Kong" reflects the life of Hong Kong people more humorously than "Sweet Honey".

This year is destined to be an uneven year.
