He actually works as a director the People's Republic of China. Yimou has redefined the Chinese Cinema through displaying the theme of modernity, which is not necessarily accepted into such a traditionally acclaimed country. Yimou is part of the Fifth Generation directors. This group of directors try to be daring, different, and try to redefine the China as we know of it today. Although Zhang has had many acclaimed films, Judou and Raise the Red Lantern is probably known as his masterpiece.
