I don't read Chinese (I speak a couple of words only) so any kind of interaction is usually problematic!
Remember to print your boarding pass prior. CAN does not allow mobile boarding pass. Ground staff will also take a picture of your printed boarding pass in front of the Gate.
(please don't go to check-in counter as it is far away from metro)

For my experience, IF you passed immigration and it near to any 10 min. (10,20,30,40,50,00), try shuttle bus.
You have to proceed another security check before going into the metro station. After arriving airport south station (T1), you will also need to wait other passengers for explosion test (might wait up-to 3 mins)

Please noted that even you got your APEC card, you cannot finish immigration check quick due to tones of APEC card holder departing at that period (still better than Econ), sometimes Biz/F immigration check counter will be faster than APEC.

Wear something that's good for run, KA789 sometimes uses the most inner part of T1, which required time to pass thr some well-packed African-destination flight. If it's Gate 104-107, you might need around 3-5 mins to reach the gate.

Good luck
