Yu Qing dreams of becoming a film director like Martin Scorsese, and making films that address social problems.
The young man from Hainan province went to the liberal arts college at Hainan University but never studied filmmaking.
Despite his lack of formal film education, the 24-year-old is on his way to realizing his dream, and his 10-minute short film Ashamed won the top award at the Nine Minutes Original Film Competition in 2012. This summer he participated in the competition again with a film shot on the old streets of Jiading district, in suburban Shanghai.
