As one of the representative figures of the sixth generation of Chinese directors, Jia Zhangke is known as "the most poetic Chinese filmmaker." He has constructed artistic conceptions through image positioning, which create a unique beauty. At the same time, the themes of his works reflect the tradition of "poetry as an expression of aspirations" from the perspective of the fates of ordinary people in this era of change, allowing the audience to feel the poet’s "aspirations." His films also show poetic features in terms of composition, lens, language and music.
