2013 was the 50th year of the Golden Horse Awards for Chinese-language cinema, and the event was widely praised as being a spectacular success. The organizers arranged for award-winning actors and actresses from the previous 49 years to be in attendance, including superstars Brigitte Lin (Best Actress, 1990, Red Dust), Maggie Cheung (Best Actress, 2000, In the Mood for Love), Tony Leung (Best Actor, 1994, Chungking Express), and Andy Lau (Best Actor, 2011, A Simple Life). Although the passage of time means that they may not have been the exact same people we idolized on the silver screen when we were teenagers, it was just as thrilling as ever to see them all again.
