The first time a film made in China went to Cannes was in 1959, when "Slut and Saint," directed by Tian Chen, made its debut. The movie, which depicted the experiences of a woman during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, was China's first time in competition for the prestigious Palme d'Or.
1960
"The Enchanting Shadow" by director Li Han-Hsiang competed for the prestigious Palme d'Or.
1962
"The Magnificent Concubine" by director Li Han-Hsiang competed for Palme d'Or. It was the first Chinese-language film to win the Grand Prix for Best Interior Photography and Color, thanks to its sumptuously decorated palace scenes and beautiful costumes.
1963
"Empress Wu Tse-Tien" by director Li Han-Hsiang entered the main competition for Palme d'Or.
