WANG Bing
Born in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, in 1967. He studied photography at the Lu Xun

a living working on various films as assistant director or cameraman, but, feeling that the mainstream
filmmaking and television world would not let him develop as he wished, he decided to start producing
his own films.
