Er graduated from the Directing Department of Beijing Film Academy in 1999. His graduation short film "Criminals"(Chinese: 犯罪分子), shot with a 35mm camera, was the most successful market-oriented student work of the Beijing Film Academy since its establishment.[1]
Er is known for adopting a non-linear timeline narrative in his films and often triggered controversy as his films were too 'literary and obscure' for the general audience.[2] Er is one of the few Chinese directors in his generation who directs, script-write and edit his own films. He is the only director to be nominated for three categories for the Golden Rooster Awards since its establishment, and the only one to win under two categories in the same year.[3]
