Huang Jianxin (simplified Chinese: 黄建新; traditional Chinese: 黃建新 1954-) is a Chinese film director. He is normally considered part of the fifth generation of Chinese filmmakers (a group that includes Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou and Tian Zhuangzhuang),[1] due to shared traits in his works, although he was not a strictly a member of the inaugural 1982 class of the Beijing Film Academy.[2] Additionally, Huang's films are distinguished from his contemporaries in that they focused on urban contemporary life, as contrasted to historical period dramas,[1] as well as for their satirical observations of the Chinese bureaucracy.
