He also once had an argument with an economist on setting a quota of imported films in the domestic market and the enforcement of cultural exceptionalism of cinema in France. On Jia’s own Weibo account, which has over 8.8 million followers, the filmmaker has constantly retweeted breaking news concerning the social and political issues of the nation, such as welfare and social justice. The four stories in A Touch of Sin are all based on news reports that were widely circulated and debated on the Internet, especially on Weibo, the Chinese equivalent of Twitter. Both Jia’s and Hu’s films, coincidentally or not, won considerable recognition when they debuted at the Cannes Film Festival. While the Chinese title’s literal translation is Destined by the Heaven, the English language version pays tribute to A Touch of Zen (1971) by King Hu, best known for his wuxia (martial arts) films.
