Directing and Writing

award-winning film director and screenwriter

Born in China, 1996, I had a very normal childhood, but the most special memory for me is waiting for my dad to come home from work on Friday. Together we would watch some films. I loved watching films since I was a kid because I could take what I missed in my life from the dreams built by others. As I grew older, I found out that this world is so disappointing that I decided to make the dreams myself. That’s why I chose to become a writer and director.


I’m interested in telling stories with a poetic style driven by the character’s emotional needs. I strive for my films to resemble a river. When people are watching them, I’d like it to feel like flowing in the stream of romance. The audiences will forget about the passing of time and feel the emotion that captures the moment.
