Zhang Yimou is from that place.

In the early 1950s, he was born in an ordinary intellectual family in China, whose original name was Zhang Yimou. Because several parents went to Whampoa Military Academy, they were people with "historical problems", and their descendants were also implicated and discriminated by society. From 65438 to 0968, after graduating from junior high school, Zhang Yimou jumped the queue in the countryside of Ganxian County, Shaanxi Province, and later worked as a worker in the No.8 cotton mill in Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province. The workers in the factory have a strong northern Shaanxi accent, and they always call him "Yimou". Some people don't know the word "Yi" and pronounce it "Zhi". As soon as he thought about it, he simply changed the name "Yi" to "Yi". The change of this word is no small matter, and he really became attached to art from then on. During his days in the factory, Zhang Yimou became fascinated with photography. The beautiful natural scenery intoxicated him, and he often went to the suburbs to take pictures alone in his spare time. Although he could only take some black and white photos at that time, every photo was so beautiful through his careful conception. His photographic works are often spread by workers, and his fame has gradually increased. The propaganda department in the factory often borrows him for publicity. In this way, seven years passed. Fortunately, during this period, Zhang Yimou met a man who knew about art. This man was admitted to the Film Academy before the Cultural Revolution, but he was not admitted because of ten years of turmoil. The bosom friend told him that your photography level has reached the point where you can pursue further studies, and you should apply for the photography department of the Film Academy. After the "Cultural Revolution", China resumed university enrollment, and Zhang Yimou saw the recruitment notice of the Film Academy in People's Daily. He seized the opportunity of a business trip and rushed to Beijing with his photographs on his back. The examiner read his work and agreed that it was good, but the highest admission age stipulated in the enrollment brochure is 22 years old, and Zhang Yimou is already 27 years old! Fortunately, Renji has his own nature. In desperation, Zhang Yimou got a friend's advice and entrusted his work to Huang Zhen, then Minister of Culture. Scholar Huang Zhen saw his work and thought it was very good, which prompted the Film Academy to make an exception and admit this student. As a substitute student, Zhang Yimou began his long-awaited college life. 1982 After graduation, he was assigned to Guangxi Film Studio as a photographer and began his film career. Zhang Yimou's mother is a professor of dermatology in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi Medical University and a member of Xi Branch of Dermatology of Chinese Medical Association. Zhang Yimou was born in 1950 at 7 am on April 7, and Zhang Yimou's father was called by a Japanese to pick up his wife. Zhang Yimou was named by his father. At that time, it was said that his father thought and thought, took a red note and wrote three words: Zhang Yimou. Why did you choose this name? People who care about others are also honored. It turned out that the father hoped that his children would achieve something in the future. Because of this name, an interesting thing happened after Zhang Yimou went to school. Because the word "ghost" is not easy to write, some people wrote his name as Zhang Zhimou, others as Zhang Yemou, and some students joked with him and called him Zhang conspiracy. In a fit of pique, he changed his name, and now he is called "Yimou". Zhang Yimou likes folk stories and famous books best. What? A Dream of Red Mansions, Water Margin and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Zhang Yimou finished reading these books as early as in primary and secondary schools. His cousin said: "Mou was playing with children in someone else's alley when he was a child. He never plays with anyone, so people let him tell stories. Many children gathered around and listened attentively! " Zhang Yimou is most afraid of his father. But he never said that Yimou smoked that cigarette endlessly while filming Red Sorghum. Father made a special trip to Xi 'an. I went to his place and saw the smell of smoke and ashtrays, all of which were there. Father immediately wrote him a note telling him to quit smoking immediately. He gave up smoking. Later, when someone asked him why he quit smoking, he said: He wanted to make more movies. But it was actually my father's suicide note that worked.
