A native of Sichuan, and originally a psychology professor, Wang eventually turned to film, making underground independent features that were often censored due to their political content.cite web|url=http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C02E2D9173EF936A15757C0A9649C8B63| title= ARTS ABROAD; Making a Movie in China the Hard Way: Legally |author=Rosenthal, Elizabeth| publisher ="The New York Times"|date= 2002-04-25|accessdate=2008-01-16] In 2001, however Wang decided to obtain official state backing for his film "Go For Broke", which despite its support from the Shanghai Film Studio, was limited in its release, even domestically, due to its use of the Shanghainese dialect.

Wang has since shifted away from more serious works with the comedies "Karmic Mahjong" and 2007's "Dangerous Games".
