Larry Yang is a Chinese film director.[1] Yang is from Harbin. He studied at the Beijing Film Academy and the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom. His first feature film, Nana (2012), received a nomination at the Five One Project Awards.[1]
Yang decided to adapt Ge Shuiping's novel after first reading it in 2008, two years after graduating from the Beijing Film Academy.[2] The story of a mute girl in a remote village, treated as an outsider until befriended by a young boy, resonated with his own feelings of isolation after returning to China in 2004 and struggling to establish his voice as a filmmaker.[2]
