Guo Baochang (郭宝昌) was a Chinese director, screenwriter, actor and novelist. In 1965, he graduated in Film Direction and Screenwriting from the Beijing Film Academy. He directed his debut feature film Mist Over Fairy Peak in 1980. He is known for writing and directing the 2001period drama The Grand Mansion Gate (大宅门), adapted from his novel of the same name.
This Chinese period drama series follows the fortunes of a prominent merchant family engaged in Traditional Chinese Medicine during the waning years of the Ching dynasty. The affairs of this family of doctors/pharmacists (which in those days were one and the same) are intimately linked with social upheavals of the time such as the encroachment of Christian missionaries and foreign imperialism as well as conflicts that inevitably emerge in a large upper class family. Comparable in scope and production value to such recent titles as "Downton Abbey", the lives and character of both masters and servants intertwine in plot lines that spans more than a generation.
