Feuille, Yang's first feature film, won the Remi Platinum Award at the 37th WorldFest Houston International Film Festival,[3] Accolade Award (Award of Excellence),[4] and Best Drama at the 2004 New York International Independent Film and Video Festival.[5]

The original version of Feuille was shot in Paris in 1998.[6] Because of some of the themes present in the film, such as homosexuality,[7] it was not shown at the time in China.[8] It aired on a Shanghai TV channel[9] as a 15-minute short film titled Listening to the Rain.[10]

This film was praised by the World Journal for its description of pure love and the kindness in human nature.[11]

Sandra Gobar, curator for the Arts Club of Washington, said, “Her palette, once on the canvas, is reminiscent of more than a Zen-like experience. She beautifully mesmerizes you with her painfully poetic conversation she engages you in, and invites you into the conversation as well when you look at herwork.”[18]

Her Peace painting was included in an exhibit titled ‘Pursuing Justice Through Art’, which was presented by the Whistler House Museum of Art in 2015.[19]

“Baby get rid of that dark obsession please!” won an Award of Merit at Accolade Global Film Competition,[20] and an Award of Merit at the Best Shorts film competition in 2014.[21]
