Xia Gang (Chinese: 夏钢; born 1953) is a Chinese film director. A graduate of the 1982 class of the Beijing Film Academy, Xia is a member of the so-called Fifth Generation, though unlike his classmates Tian Zhuangzhuang and Chen Kaige, he did not gain prominence until relatively later, in the late 1980s.[1]
Like his contemporary Huang Jianxin, Xia's works have focused on modern urban relationships and particularly marriage and love.[1] His film (1995) is most indicative of his interest in modernity and relationships, as it details a young woman's maturation in a modern Chinese city.
