Born in China, and in 1984, having received a scholarship, went to France, where he graduated from film school, became a director and settled forever. He thinks and writes about China. The first of two novels by Sy-ze, Balzac and a Chinese dressmaker, was a huge success, was translated into many languages and formed the basis of his film, which received a prize in the nomination “Special Look” at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival. A special view developed under the influence of the traditions of centuries-old Chinese culture, European education and the realities of modern China. A special look is also noted by the second novel by Sy-tse "Di" Complex, awarded the "Femina" award.
