Happy Birthday, Tian Zhuangzhuang! May your day be as captivating and timeless as "The Horse Thief," yet far less complicated than filming in harsh Tibetan winters. Your films have taught us that life is a journey—sometimes poetic like "The Blue Kite," sometimes fierce like "The Warrior and the Wolf." Either way, we’re glad you're directing it!Your cinematic vision continues to inspire generations of filmmakers worldwide. Here's hoping this year brings you more accolades, fewer retakes, and plenty of laughter behind the scenes. Keep rolling those cameras; after all these years, you've proven one thing clearly: legends never yell 'cut!'
