Zhang Yimou's next film?

Gleaned from a report from Taipei:

For his next project, Zhang told reporters at the festival that he's considering returning to politically sensitive topics with a story about the Cultural Revolution. His film may provide some counterweight to the movie now showing some success in China titled Zhang Side (張思德), which tells the story of the title character whose sacrifice in the early days of the Communist revolution inspired Mao Zedong's (毛澤東) famous epigraph, "Serve the People" (為人民服務).
