Movie director Jia Zhangke from Shanxi province. Known as The Pickpocket overseas, the film was recognized at the 48th Berlin International Film Festival and launched the career of Jia, one of the key members of the so-called sixth generation of Chinese film directors. With the support of Jia, the Pingyao Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon International Film Festival was founded in Pingyao, Shanxi, in 2017. To hold an international film festival in Pingyao, a fourth-tier town, is to promote the flow of cultural resources from the top of society to the bottom, he said. "The film festival is a resource with huge amounts of information, and its long-term benefits will be gradually realized in the future," Jia said.
