Chai Chunya

CHAI Chunya (b. 1975, China) was born in the province of Longxi Gansu, in a village as remote as the place where he set his debut film Four Ways to Die in My Hometown. He studied politics and law before starting to work as a journalist and photographer for, e.g., Southern Weekend (the most liberal paper in China). He made many journeys, including through Tibet, that formed the basis for three novels and several photo series.
