Character evaluation

Ning CAI was born in Horqin grassland of Inner Mongolia, an ordinary herdsman's family. The grassland left him too many traces: rough appearance, bold personality, optimistic nature, and even his favorite film and TV series have too much connection with the grassland (Sina entertainment review). Ning CAI has thick black eyebrows, deep eyes and luxuriant whiskers. These natural conditions make him play heroes, knights and Gunners in the grassland. However, these images do not have much inner activities, and almost no one can stand up. Ning Cai, who is good at thinking, is not satisfied with the current situation. He wants to change his track through further study. After trying to direct two TV dramas, snow in Yeda mountain and hello banner leader, Ning Cai wants to interpret his beloved grassland and people living on the grassland with his own thinking, techniques and creation (people's online review).
