Orchids and My Love (Chinese: 我女若蘭) is a 1966 Taiwanese film. It won six awards at the 5th Golden Horse Film Festival, including Best Feature Film and Best Director for Lee Chia.[1] The film drew attention for its embodiment of Confucian ethics, in comparison to Beautiful Duckling.[2]

Plot

Young Meng Rou-lan (Tse Ling-ling) loves ballet, but cannot perform as she has polio. She is raised by her father (Ko Hsiang-ting) on an orchid farm. His unconditional love sees Meng through her recovery. As she matures to adulthood (Tang Pao-yun), Meng learns to treasure her independence.
