Zheng Yun Xiang, known by the stage name Scud Cheng, is a Hong Kong director. He was born in Guangzhou and moved to Hong Kong with his family at the age of 13 and spent his youth in part-time study. After getting a degree in computers from the Open University of Hong Kong and working in the IT industry for 20 years and working stint at an MNC, he decided to take a step back and moved to Australia to rethink the direction of life and re-plan his future for his love in music and literature. He established an independent film company "Artwalker Limited" and co-operated with Hong Kong senior director Liu Guochang for the first film "A City Without Wilderness". He also wrote and produced a number of works including "Permanent Residence", "Amphetamine", "Love Sucks", "You" and "Tong Liu He Wu". His films explore themes usually deemed too controversial for Hong Kong cinema, including same-sex relationships, drug-taking, and many nude scenes of Chinese young men whose pubic hair and genitalia are fully exposed on camera. His film-making style eschews cynicism or gritty realism, and embraces an acceptance of the life choices made by his characters, rather than a search for 'solutions'. Scud has cited Pier Paolo Pasolini, Pedro Almodovar, and Peter Greenaway as directors who have influenced his work. (Source: Wikipedia).
