Huang Ruxiang graduated from Beijing Film Academy majoring in Photography.
Her other artistic interests however are broad ranging, including calligraphy,
painting and sculpture. With experience as a photographic journalist, columnist
and editor, these skills are complemented by a deep understanding of
contemporary society. It was perhaps inevitable that Huang began, in 2000, to
create her own independent documentaries. Her representative film Doctor Zhang
is a fable about a man whose personal fate suffers at the hands of society. The
film has been shown at various international film festivals including the Pusan
International Film Festival.
"As a director, besides honesty, your heart should be filled with love, a
simple love."
Huang Ruxiang's film is a black comedy set in the idealized ancient Chinese
paradise of Tao Hua Yuan. It reveals a deep understanding of society, and a
willingness to explore unconventional artistic approaches.
