Character evaluation

Liu Guochang is a very low-key director, but like Xu Anhua, he is also committed to local movies in Hong Kong, focusing on the bottom of society (Nanfang online review).

Liu Guochang's film style has always been realistic, and he loves realistic movies. He pays attention to the "problem youth", the "Tin Shui Wai" at the bottom of Hong Kong, the "sex workers" in Temple Street, and the ups and downs of men and women in the entertainment circle. There are always some lively little people in his films, which are always full of human care. Even in the golden age of Hong Kong film, he is not a high-yield director, but every time he makes a move, all his works are resounding. Although Liu Guochang's appearance gives a slight impression of weakness, he is actually a director who likes to challenge by nature (Netease Entertainment review).
