Character evaluation

Wang Xiaoshuai is one of the directors born in the 1960s in China who has always insisted on making films according to his own pursuit. He is also a person who does not like to talk about things other than film creation through the media. Wang Xiaoshuai's films are very intellectual and definitely not from the perspective of common people. But it does not mean that he will separate himself from the civilian, nor does it mean that he will cut off himself from his life. (Netease Entertainment review)

Wang Xiaoshuai's simple and stubborn character, as well as his unique and sensitive film personality, from his first film "days of winter and spring" to his newly completed "dreamland", Wang Xiaoshuai began to form his own unique film style in just ten years. (Tencent Entertainment review)
