Taiwan's Golden Horse Film Festival will honor the 92-year-old actress Li Lihua with this year's Lifetime Achievement Award.

The 1969 movie "Storm over the Yang-Tse River" in which Li starred will be shown at this year's Golden Horse Film Festival.

Nicknamed "The Evergreen Tree" of the Chinese cinema, Li Lihua began her movie career in 1940 and appeared in over 120 movies before retiring in 1973.

She played a leading role in the 1962 epic film "The Magnificent Concubine-Yang Kwei Fei", which is the first Chinese film to win an award at the Cannes Film Festival.

This year's Golden Horse Film Festival will begin on Nov 5, with the awards ceremony scheduled for Nov 21 in Taipei.
