This month，the 72-year-old Miyazaki announced his retirement.The Japanese animator has directed 11 animated full-length films over the past four decades， including the Oscar-winning Spirited Away(《千与千寻》) and his latest release， The Wind Rises(《起风了》)，which tells the life story of a man who designed Japanese World War Ⅱ fighter planes.
