Question: Was Erich von Stroheim or Wang Xiaoshuai born first?
Context: The House is a 1999 Chinese film directed by Wang Xiaoshuai.  It is rarely, if ever, screened abroad, and remains one of Wang Xiaoshuai's least well-known works outside of China.  It is alternatively referred to as Suburban Dreams, Fantasy Garden or Dream House.  The film was produced by the Beijing Film Studio and the China Film Group.  Wang Xiaoshuai himself considers it one of his most inconsequential efforts to date, to the extent that it has "sunk into oblivion." Erich von Stroheim (born Erich Oswald Stroheim; September 22, 1885 – May 12, 1957) was an Austrian-American director, actor and producer, most notable as being a film star of the silent era, subsequently noted as an auteur for his directorial work.  He died in 1957 in France, at age 71. I Was an Adventuress is a 1940 American drama film directed by Gregory Ratoff, starring Vera Zorina, Richard Greene, Erich von Stroheim and Peter Lorre.  Actress/ballerina Countess Tanya Vronsky (Vera Zorina) works as decoy for two international con artists Andre Desormeaux (Erich von Stroheim) and Polo (Peter Lorre). The Wedding March is a 1928 American silent romantic drama film written and directed by and starring Erich von Stroheim.  It also stars Fay Wray and ZaSu Pitts.  Paramount Pictures forced von Stroheim to create two films from the footage, the second being "The Honeymoon" (eventually re-edited back into one film for a re-release).  "The Honeymoon" is now considered lost, the only known copy destroyed in a fire in France in 1959. Foolish Wives is a 1922 American silent drama film produced and distributed by Universal Pictures under their Super-Jewel banner and written and directed by Erich von Stroheim.  The drama features von Stroheim, Rudolph Christians, Miss DuPont, Maude George, and others. Hello, Sister!  is a 1933 American pre-Code drama film directed by Alan Crosland, Erich von Stroheim, Raoul Walsh, and Alfred L. Werker.  It is a re-edited version of von Stroheim's now-lost film Walking Down Broadway.  "Hello, Sister!"  was itself thought to have perished as well, until a print was found in the 1970s. San Francisco is a 1936 musical-drama directed by Woody Van Dyke, based on the April 18, 1906 San Francisco earthquake.  The film, which was the top-grossing movie of that year, stars Clark Gable, Jeanette MacDonald, and Spencer Tracy.  The then very popular singing of MacDonald helped make this film a hit, coming on the heels of her other 1936 blockbuster, "Rose Marie".  Famous silent film directors D. W. Griffith and Erich von Stroheim worked on the film without credit.  Griffith directed some of the mob scenes while von Stroheim contributed to the screenplay. Blind Husbands is a 1919 American drama film directed by Erich von Stroheim.  The film is an adaptation of the story "The Pinnacle" by Stroheim. Wang Xiaoshuai (; born May 22, 1966) is a Chinese film director, screenwriter and occasional actor.  He is commonly grouped under the loose association of filmmakers known as the "Sixth Generation" of the Cinema of China. Under Secret Orders, also known as Mademoiselle Doctor, is a 1937 British spy film directed by Edmond T. Gréville and starring Erich von Stroheim, John Loder, Dita Parlo and Claire Luce.  It is an English-language version of the French film "Mademoiselle Docteur", also known as "Salonique, nid d'espions", and released in the United States as "Street of Shadows", which was filmed at the same time under the direction of G. W. Pabst.  Both films have exactly the same plot, but there were differences in the cast between the two: in particular, von Stroheim was not in the French version.
