In the "Preface" written by Zhang Yimou himself, Zhang Yimou mentioned the reasons for publishing this book. "This book cannot be regarded as an autobiography in the strict sense. It is not about coming out of the mother's womb and describing it from the beginning. We call this book an image memory because Zhang Yimou bought his first camera when he was a worker in Xianyang and began to create independently. , until he finally became a film director and a large-scale performance director, everything revolved around his video works. "

His growth, pain and ecstasy are all related to images.

He is a controversial director and an iconic filmmaker. "Zhang Yimou's Homework" records "unforgettable" dreams, incredible coincidences, unspeakable fate, and unabashed confessions. This is a job for a videographer.
