Larry Yang is a Chinese film director.[1] Yang is from Harbin. He studied at the Beijing Film Academy and the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom. His first feature film, Nana (2012), received a nomination at the Five One Project Awards.[1]

Yang decided to adapt Ge Shuiping's 2005 novella Mountain Cry, which won a Lu Xun Literary Prize, after first reading it in 2008, two years after graduating from the Beijing Film Academy.[2] The story of a mute girl in a remote village, treated as an outsider until befriended by a young boy, resonated with his own feelings of isolation after returning to China in 2004 and struggling to establish his voice as a filmmaker.[2] A social drama, Mountain Cry was the closing film at the 20th Busan International Film Festival in 2015.[3]
