A graduate of the acting department of Communication University of China, Liang started his career in the film and TV industry as an actor, but some stereotypical cameo roles and rigid performance requirements had dampened his enthusiasm in front of the camera.
With more participation in Lou's later two films, respectively Love and Bruises (2011) and Mystery (2012), Liang – who served as deputy director of Mystery -- has since then shifted his interest to the directorial role.
During the 2012 Spring Festival vacation in his hometown of Yichun, a forest city situated in Northeast China's Heilongjiang province, Liang started to pen his first version of the script of Wisdom Tooth.
Inspired by real-life stories heard from relatives or friends, the film explores several social issues ranging from sibling tension to corruption and the impact of the environmental crisis on locals.
Many diehard art film fans say the movie reminds them of South Korean director Lee Chang-dong's Burning and Chinese director Lou Ye's Spring Fever.
The shooting location of Burning bears a geographical similarity to where Wisdom Tooth was filmed. So I guess these 'technical elements' make the audience regard my film as somewhat like the two movies, he adds in response to online comments.
