Chen Kaige is celebrating his 71st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director Chen Kaige (Farewell My Concubine, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 71st birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Chen, a cultural icon

Born in Beijing on August 12, 1952, Chen Kaige's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Chinese history. Chen's not just a great director, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Kaige hasn't done.

Happy Birthday, Kaige, you're the best!
