In 2024, the film "The Last Dance," in which Michelle stars, officially began production. On February 6 of the same year, she received a nomination for Best Actress at the 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards for her role in "Ready or Rot." In "The Last Dance," her delicate and moving performance garnered widespread acclaim, and the film achieved a box office opening of 7.46 million HKD on its first day, making her the highest-grossing female star in Hong Kong film history. That year, she was also invited to participate in major film festivals, including the Tokyo International Film Festival, further establishing her acting prowess.
