After retirement, Au received her first onscreen role at the age of 67, as the wife of an aged and deflated taxi driver, in the 2020 drama film Suk Suk directed by Ray Yeung. [1] [5] Au won Best Supporting Actress and was nominated for Best New Performer in the 39th Hong Kong Film Awards, [6] making her the oldest nominee of the Best New Performer category. [7] She was also nominated for Best Supporting Actress in the 56th Golden Horse Awards with the critically acclaimed role. [8] After her breakout performance, she received her first television role in the ViuTV drama series Single Papa  [ zh ] later in the same year. [9] In 2022, Au appeared in the featured films The Sparring Partner and The Narrow Road . [10] [11] The latter role earned her another nomination for Best Supporting Actress in the 41st Hong Kong Film Awards. [12] In 2024, she was cast in a lead role in Ray Yeung's drama film All Shall Be Well , [13] for which she was nominated for Best Leading Actress in the 61st Golden Horse Awards. [14]
