Gold Leaf (Chinese: 茶金) is a 2021 Taiwanese period drama based on the eponymous novel written by Huang Kuo-hua.[1] Set in the 1950s, Gold Leaf is Taiwan's first Hailu Hakka language drama.[2]
Directed by Lin Chun-yang, the series stars Cindy Lien, James Wen, Kuo Tzu-chien, Hsu An-chi, Hsueh Shih-ling, Li Hsing, and Jag Huang.[3]
It received 16 nominations at the 57th Golden Bell Awards and went on to win the Best Supporting Actress in a Television Series (Sophia Li) and the Best Editing for a Drama Series.[4]
Gold Leaf depicts the booming tea trade in Taiwan during the 1950s, following the travails of Chang Yi-hsin and her family owned tea exporting company.[5]
The drama drew controversy for misrepresenting the creation of the New Taiwan dollar (NTD), by incorrectly depicting a scene in which American advisors recommended that Taiwanese officials adopt the NTD to address hyper-inflation in the country, when in reality, the Kuomintang-led government adopted the currency of their own volition.[6] The drama's production team issued a joint statement for misrepresenting these historical facts.
