Two Chinese weddings on the screen won the Golden Bear Award on the same day

Answer: A/B/C.

In 1988, Zhang Yimou became the first Chinese director to win the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival for "Red Sorghum". Later, in 1993, the works of xie fei and ang Lee won this award at the same time, setting a record in the history of Chinese films. In 1996, Ang Lee won the Golden Bear Award again for "Sense and Sensibility". In the 21st century, in 2007, Wang Quan'an won the Golden Bear Award for "Tuya's Wedding" and Diao Yinan for "Daytime Fireworks".

The Golden Bear Award, the highest award at the Berlin International Film Festival in Germany, was founded in 1952. The Golden Bear Award, together with the Palme d'Or at the Cannes International Film Festival in France and the Golden Lion at the Venice International Film Festival in Italy, are among the highest international awards in the field of film.

The Golden Bear has produced many "double yolk eggs", including Masayoshi Imai's The Cruel Tale of Bushido in 1963 and Gian Luke Randy's Demons, Richard Pierce's Pioneer and Werner Schroeder's Palermo or Wolfsburg in 1980, Mario Camus's The Hive in 1983 and Edward Bennett's Fast in 1920, David Hale's Strangers (1985) and Reiner Simon's Women and Strangers, Jerry Minzel's 1990 Wingless Sparrow" and Costa Gavas's "Music Box", after the 1993 Chinese film Double Yolk Egg, In 2002, Miyazaki's "Spirited Away" and Paul Greengrass 'Bloody Sunday' won the Golden Bear Award again, which is the last Time so far the Golden Bear Award "Double Yolk Egg" has been held.

While "double yolk eggs" may not seem uncommon, it is also a matter of pride that two Chinese-language films have been recognized by such international awards. Interestingly, there are two weddings in the two films, presenting Chinese's understanding of marriage, family, and human nature from different angles. In "The Fragrant Soul Girl", the mother-in-law is a woman who is persecuted by the old ethics, but she has unconsciously become the person who continues to persecute her daughter-in-law, using disgraceful means to let innocent girls marry her mentally handicapped son. The absurd behavior of the son at the wedding was lamented, and it was not until the mother-in-law finally woke up, but it seemed too late. There is also an absurd Chinese wedding in "The Wedding Banquet", the bride and groom become a tool to maintain the face of the man's parents, coupled with the vicious wedding plot, so that the whole wedding becomes a farce.
