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. Just as The Wind Rises shows，Miyazaki is well-known for his obsession with flight， especially human flight.Other attractive aspects of Miyazaki’s films include his themes of environmental protection and the horrors of war.
