Geng Gong

Geng Gong, a master of Chinese cinema, was born in Beijing, China in 1956 and has been an active director since the early 1980s. Known for his unique blend of drama and comedy, Gong's works, such as "A Chinese Odyssey" and "King of Comedy", have resonated with audiences both domestically and internationally, although they have not received major awards at film festivals. His authorial style often involves a mix of slapstick humor and emotional depth, creating a unique blend of entertainment and thought-provoking cinema.

On a more personal note, Geng Gong is a director who infuses his love for his culture and his city into every frame, creating a cinematic tapestry that is as much a tribute to Beijing as it is a story.
