    Personal Quotes: "For me, the project I would most like to do someday would be about the Cultural Revolution. I've never bothered to come up with a story because no film on that subject would ever be sanctioned today. But tomorrow things might be different." "It is a country that has no past. Political regimes systematically robbed us of history and it's only now that we are beginning to get it back." Master Pieces: The Promise(2005), Together(2002), Ten Minutes Older: The Trumpet (2002)
