Zhong Quan

Zhong Quan graduated from the Jilin University of the Arts in 1965 and joined the Changchun Film Studio that same summer. He worked in special effects and served as an art director at the studio, contributing to around twenty productions. In 1985, he became the first director of the animation division at the Changchun studio, where he directed several productions. The division began with six recently graduated animators, including Wang Qiang and Wang Gang. Notable films directed by Zhong include *Yanzhen*—which earned him several awards. Later, he held various positions at educational institutions.
