The Impression Liu Sanjie has been a daily scenario Chinese film hero Zhang Yimou created in 2004 — an outdoor performance placing its setting in real mountains and rivers in Yangshuo.

Zhang has been named by the US-based Entertainment Weekly as one of the 20 greatest contemporary directors in the world.

From his first film, “Red Sorghum,” to his last one “Qian Li Zou Dan Ji”, he was always notable in dowing away with the rules of his contemporaries by using Chinese stars, yet all “recognizable faces” he has employed have become international super stars, such as Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi. Ever since the birth of “Red Sorghum,” his films have been said to have “rebellious spirit” and “exotic flavor” by Western critics, and have also beenidentified as a good Chinese brand to sell.

Since he broadened his palette to include martial arts movies compliments have abounded. In 2004, his martial arts films “House of Flying Daggers” and “Hero” were both included in the list of Top Ten Films of the year by the US-based Associated Press.

However, when he turned his attention to things outside of the film industry, such as the bidding project for the Beijing Olympic Games 2008 and the outdoor performance, accusations arose that Zhang had finished a magnificent presentation with his cinematic talent.
