Chinese rock icon Cui Jian's first short film, Times of Repairing the Hymen, premiered in a club yesterday in Beijing. 

 

Chinese singer and producer Gao Xiaosong also premiered his short film The Sound of Finger Broke. The two together were boasted as An Unmatched Story. 　　

 

Director Cui Jian, Gao Xiaosong, producer Fruit Chan and lead actress Zhang Xiaohui attended the premiere. 　　

 

Cui's short film, which lasts seven minutes, continues the critical and revolutionary attitudes he puts forth in his music. 　　

 

The plot revolves around three generations of attitudes towards female virginity through the director's constant rocky lens.

 

Cui said, "What I intend to do is to make works with real strength; I hope it will wake up or change people's numb opinions." 　

 

When asked about the difference between being a musician and being a director, Cui said that making music is like talking to his own soul, but as a director, he has to talk with others.
