Feng Xiaogang, one of China's highest-grossing film directors, immortalized his handprints in cement at TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood on November 1. He was the first Chinese mainland director to receive the honor.

"This is a good and interesting thing. Being accepted in this Hollywood family, I feel it's a recognition of my work," Feng said.

Feng achieved a box-office total of 2.5 billion yuan ($410 million) over his two-decade career as film director. Seven of his films, including Back to 1942, Aftershock and Cellphone, were screened at the TCL Chinese Theater on November 2 and 3.
