Unlike many of China's other young directors, Zhang does not censor his own ideas to win State approval for his films. Consequently, only his first film, Mama (1990) has been released in China to date, although pirated Video Compact Discs (VCDs) of Beijing Bastards are not uncommon.

She instructs him in the finer points of sex play. And when "Hummie-Dummie" devolves into a nagging "Mama Humbert," she leaves with Filthy--after giving the drugged Hum a goodbye sodomizing with the pen he'd used for his own diary...
