Director
Xiao Yang

A trailer he made caught the eye of Chinese well-known director Feng Xiaogang, who asked him to be a long-term film editor. Feng calls him “a gift from heaven”. The films he edited totalled a box office of 4.3 billion RMB. Xiao directed his first film The Ark of Mr. Chow, a semi-autobiographical film.
