Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Context: Maurice Pialat (31 August 1925  11 January 2003) was a French film director, screenwriter and actor noted for the rigorous and unsentimental style of his films. His work is often described as being "realist", though many film critics acknowledge that it does not fit the traditional definition of realism., The 40th Cannes Film Festival was held on 719 May 1987. The Palme d'Or went to the "Sous le soleil de Satan" by Maurice Pialat., Shen Congwen (December 28, 1902  May 10, 1988), formerly romanized as Shen Ts'ung-wen, is considered to be one of the greatest modern Chinese writers, on par with Lu Xun. Regional culture and identity plays a much bigger role in his writing than that of other major early modern Chinese writers. He was known for combining the vernacular style with classical Chinese writing techniques. Shen is the most important of the "native soil" writers in modern Chinese literature., The Cannes Festival (French: Festival de Cannes), named until 2002 as the International Film Festival ("Festival international du film") and known in English as the Cannes Film Festival, is an annual film festival held in Cannes, France, which previews new films of all genres, including documentaries, from all around the world. Founded in 1946, the invitation-only festival is held annually (usually in May) at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès., The history of Chinese literature extends thousands of years, from the earliest recorded dynastic court archives to the mature vernacular fiction novels that arose during the Ming Dynasty to entertain the masses of literate Chinese. The introduction of widespread woodblock printing during the Tang Dynasty (618907) and the invention of movable type printing by Bi Sheng (9901051) during the Song Dynasty (9601279) rapidly spread written knowledge throughout China. In more modern times, the author Lu Xun (18811936) is considered the founder of "baihua" literature in China., Lu Xun, formerly also romanized Lu Hsün, was the pen name of Zhou Shuren (25 September 1881  19 October 1936), a leading figure of modern Chinese literature. Writing in Vernacular Chinese as well as Classical Chinese, Lu Xun was a short story writer, editor, translator, literary critic, essayist, and poet. In the 1930s he became the titular head of the League of Left-Wing Writers in Shanghai., A Girl from Hunan ( also known as Girl from Hunan ) ( Chinese :  ; pinyin : Xingn xioxio ) is a 1986 Chinese drama film directed by Xie Fei and U Lan . The film was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1987 Cannes Film Festival , and was one of the first mainland Chinese films to be commercially screened in the United States . The film is based on a 1929 short - story , Xiao Xiao ( or Hsiao Hsiao ) , by author Shen Congwen ., Classical Chinese, also known as Literary Chinese, is the language of the classic literature from the end of the Spring and Autumn period through to the end of the Han Dynasty, a written form of Old Chinese. Classical Chinese is a traditional style of written Chinese that evolved from the classical language, making it different from any modern spoken form of Chinese. Literary Chinese was used for almost all formal writing in China until the early 20th century, and also, during various periods, in Japan, Korea and Vietnam. Among Chinese speakers, Literary Chinese has been largely replaced by written vernacular Chinese, a style of writing that is similar to modern spoken Mandarin Chinese, while speakers of non-Chinese languages have largely abandoned Literary Chinese in favor of local vernaculars., Subject: a girl from hunan, Relation: original_language_of_work, Options: (A) chinese (B) classical chinese (C) english (D) french (E) mandarin chinese (F) old chinese
