Yangyi Hu

Yangyi Hu, a creative force in contemporary cinema, was born in 1971 in Shijiazhuang, China. He began his directing career in the late 90s, carving out a niche in the genres of drama and historical fiction, with his most acclaimed works including "Tears of the Sun," and "The Last Emperor," both of which have won numerous awards, despite not clinching any at major film festivals. Hu's authorial style is characterized by his ability to blend historical narratives with deep human emotions, resulting in films that are as intellectually stimulating as they are emotionally resonant.

From an earnest perspective, Hu's passion for storytelling, his respect for history, and his ability to humanize grand historical events make him one of the most compelling directors in modern Chinese cinema.
