aka Zhong Acheng. Born 1949. Writer and screenwriter.
Worked with, and befriended, Chen Kaige whilst the two of them were zhiqing (sent-down youths) at a rubber plantation during the years of the Cultural Revolution. After this period, in the late 1970s he would become a writer and a member of artistic avant-garde circles. His short story 'King of the Children', inspired by his work camp experiences during the CR, would inspire Chen to adapt it into his film King of the Children.
He would also write screenplays including collaborations with Tian Zhuangzhuang.
