He is commonly grouped under the loose association of filmmakers known as the "Sixth Generation" of the Cinema of China..
Like others in this generation, and in contrast with earlier Chinese filmmakers who produced mostly historical drama, Wang proposed a “new urban Chinese cinema [that] has been mainly concerned with bearing witness of a fast- paced transforming China and producing a localized critique of globalization.”
Many of Wang's works are known for their sensitive portrayal of teens and youths, most notable in films such as "Beijing BicycleSo Close to ParadiseDrifters", and "Shanghai Dreams".
His 2008 film "
In Love We Trust" was an exception as it portrays marital strains.

Frozen (1997 film)
Frozen  is a 1997 Chinese film directed by Wang Xiaoshuai.
The film was originally shot in 1994, but was banned by Chinese authorities and had to be smuggled out of the country.
Moreover, Wang was operating under a blacklisting from the Chinese Film Bureau that was imposed after his previous film, "The Days", was screened internationally without government approval.
As such, Wang was forced to use the pseudonym "Wu Ming" (literally "Anonymous") while making this film.
The film, supposedly based on a true story, follows a young performance artist, Qi Lei, who attempts to create a masterpiece centred on the theme of death.
After two "acts" where he simulates death, he decides that his final act will be a true suicide through hypothermia.
"Frozen" was originally titled "The Great Game" .
This was meant to reflect the attitude of both the film and the artist portrayed within it to treat death and suicide as a game or a manipulation.
Canadian scholar Erik Bordeleau has interpreted "Frozen" as an allegory of the aftermath of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests in China.
Qi Lei’s “experience of a radical loss of social subjectivity, staged in performative terms, powerfully echoes also that of the Tiananmen survivors, those whose lives did not come to an end, as did the world to which they belonged.”
