I know it is after 12, but please count this blog :)
I found this article from the website: http://www.chinesecinemas.org/hero.html. It was written by Yingxiong. Although this article is a review, it could also pass for a critical essay. This article, Absence as spectacle: Zhang Yimou's Hero, deals with with a variety of topics from Chinese genre to a critical analysis of the film. This following quote extracted from the article concludes Yingxiong's main argument.
"Hero celebrates absence as spectacle; it glorifies absolute renunciation and perfect non-violence as preconditions for peace. Like Nameless, it addresses authority, undermining power’s grip on narrativity."
