Date of Birth: Feb. 9th 1979
Height: 164cm
Weight: 50kg
Interest: reading, swining, sleeping
Her first appearance in an American movie was in Rush Hour 2 (2001), but as she didn't speak English, Jackie Chan had to translate everything the director said to her. In that movie, her character's name, "Hu Li" translated from Mandarin Chinese is "Fox". Even though she has been in many kung-fu movies, she is not actually a trained martial artist, so in fact she uses many dance moves in her fight sequences. "In China, we don't consider someone truly beautiful until we have known them for a long time, and we know what's underneath the skin."
