Huang Shuqin, a native of Panyu in South China'sGuangdong Province, was born inShanghaiin 1940. Huang graduated from the Director Department ofBeijing Film Academyin 1964. Huang's works are characterized by her focus on the common people. She thinks the movie could only resonate among the people when it expresses the joy and anger, pleasure and sorrow of the most ordinary people. Meanwhile, she follows her won sharp-cut artistic feature in the first place, and then tries to get the acknowledgement from the audience. With great passion and enthusiasm, almost all her works have the themes about ordinary life. Her criteria for choosing the scripts attach great importance on both social significance and high artistic taste. For instance her movieWoman Human Demonin 1987 deeply discussed the issue of women by depicting the life of a girl born into the world ofPeking Opera. The work has won many awards.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
