Huang Shuqin, a native of Panyu in South China's Guangdong Province, was born in Shanghai in 1940. Huang graduated from the Director Department of Beijing Film Academy in 1964.

Huang's works are characterized by her focus on the common people. She thinks the movie could only resonate among the people when it expresses the joy and anger, pleasure and sorrow of the most ordinary people. Meanwhile, she follows her won sharp-cut artistic feature in the first place, and then tries to get the acknowledgement from the audience.

With great passion and enthusiasm, almost all her works have the themes about ordinary life. Her criteria for choosing the scripts attach great importance on both social significance and high artistic taste. For instance her movie Woman Human Demon in 1987 deeply discussed the issue of women by depicting the life of a girl born into the world of Peking Opera. The work has won many awards.

With a style of great simplicity, Huang is good at illustrating the grand themes via the trivial happenings in life. Her major works include Peinter, La (1994), Woman Huamn Demon (1987), Crossing Border Action (1986), Childhood Friends (1984), Forever Young (1983) and The Modern Generation (1981).
