“China’s film censors have blackballed popular actor-director Jiang Wen because his award-winning film was judged to be unpatriotic. A well-placed source in China’s cinema world said Jiang, who won this year’s Grand Prix jury prize at the Cannes film festival with ‘Guizi Lai Le’, had been banned from acting or filming in China, or even appearing on television for seven years.” – China Times (Taiwan) 07/14/00
