California February 24，2013.

Life of Pi shows a young Indian named Pi，who finds the world he knows swept away when his family sells their zoo and sets sail for Canada with a few animals. Only Pi escapes from the storm and floats in a lifeboat with a giant Bengal tiger.

“ I really want to thank you for believing this story and sharing this unbelievable journey with me”’ Lee said in his speech. The film also won three other Oscars,for best original music,best cinematography(電影藝術(shù)）and best visual (視覺(jué)）effects. It won more awards than Lincoln and Argo which were also among the hottest nominees.

Coming from China’s Taiwan,the 58 — year - old Lee won an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 2001 for Crouching Tiger,Hidden Dragon and another for Best Director in 2006 for Brokeback Mountain. He is the only person of Asian to win the directing award and one of the rare people who won that award more than once.

In an after - ceremony interview,Lee said he believed Asian films would come to the main stage of the world sooner or later. “ I was bom in Asia and grew up with Chinese education. It is natural for me to put Asian thinking into Western things. ” The film,which cost 120 million U. S. dollars,has earned nearly 600 million dollars worldwide. Lee said most of the earnings came from outside China. Lee said he felt warm that he won the award on the day of the Lantern Festival,a Chinese traditional festival on which families get together to solve puzzles on lanterns and eat Tang Yuan. He wished everyone a happy new year of the snake and everybody gets luck.

Ang Lee the director of “Brokeback. Mountain” , won the Best Director Award at the 78th Academy Awards Lee is the first Chinese to receive the honour , considered the highest in American cinema and the most influential worldwide.

    “I’m deeply proud of him”, guched Kate Wang ,granddaughter of Wang Dulu ,whose marual arts novel inspired lee’s “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” in 2000.

    “Ang Lee’s movie is very touching .It’s simple but perfect,” commented Zhang Yuan, a Chinese film director of the “Sixth Generation” “I sincerely congratulate him .He is the pride of all Chinese directors everywhere”

    Despite the Best Director Award , the film “Brokeback Mountain” lost to “Crash” in the Best Picture. It was widely seen as an upset because “Brokeback” had been winning all kinds of prizes ,from the Golden Bear in Venice ,to the Golden Globe and the Independent Spirit Awards ,and was seen by most observers as shoo-in for the highest Oscar.

    An anonymous（匿名的）posting on Sina com summed up what many moviegoers expressed in one way or another , “Now that Ang Lee has got all the big international awards, Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige need not compete for the title of No. 1 Chinese Director anymore”

    Other voices were less congratulatory. Dayyan Eng, a Chinese American who started his filmmaking career in Beijing ,did not think “Brokeback” is as good as “The Ice Storm” an Ang Lee film from 1997.

    Liu Miaomiao, a director of independent films, rationalized that Hollywood would not give the top award to “Brokeback” because of political reasons.

    Sai Ren ,a film critic with CCTV6 ,a film channel ,noted that Lee’s achievement had little to do with Chinese cinema .He suggested that people watch the show just to enjoy it .
