Jiang Wen

Jiang Wen was born on 5 January 1963 in Tangshan, in Hebei, into a military family, and moved to Beijing as a child. A graduate in 1984 of the Central Academy of Drama, he established himself as an actor in the mid-eighties, in films by Xie Jin and Zhang Yimou. He moved into directing in 1994, from a story by Wang Shuo. He was then banned from filming for seven years, a sanction linked to that film. He has continued to act for other filmmakers, in China and the United States.
