Is Zhang Yimou a citizen of China?

Zhang Yimou,1born in Xi, Shaanxi Province on April 2, 950, is a film director in China, one of the representatives of the "fifth generation directors", honorary doctor of Boston University and Yale University, and distinguished professor of Beijing Film Academy. 1978 entered the photography department of Beijing Film Academy. 1982 was assigned to Guangxi Film Studio after graduation.

1984 worked as a photographer for the first time in the film One and Eight, and won the China Film Excellent Photographer Award. 1986 starred in the first film "Old Well" and won three best actors. The first film "Red Sorghum" directed by 1987 won the Golden Bear Award at the first China International Film Festival. From then on, I began to realize my own trilogy of film creation, from photographer to actor, and finally to director career.

Character evaluation:

Zhang Yimou was famous for directing artistic films full of China traditional culture in his early days. His artistic features are vivid details and romantic themes. He is good at film colors and capturing delicate and touching things in the inner world of characters. The outstanding features of Zhang Yimou's works are the strong sense of history and life, the unique landscape of simple folk customs, and the eulogy and praise of women's rebellious spirit.

Behind the strong color and bold composition, he insisted on the authenticity of life and the lyricism of narrative. Zhang Yimou's skill is that he can strike a chord with the people of China strongly, accurately, in time and in advance.
