Biography
This sexy Taiwanese actress, was one of Shaw Bros' most glamourous stars during the 1960's. Like other females during this time, she made a few Swordplay films. Probably, the best of the lot would be Lady With A Sword, playing opposite a very young Meng Yuen-Men. She held the action together and she really looked like she knew what she was doing with a sword. A lot of the females actresses got hurt playing in action-oriented film and she was no exception.
She was always a Scene-stealer, no matter what the film role was. Many site the beautifully shot film, Intimate Confessions Of A Chinese Courtesan, as (possibly) her greatest film. Her portrayal as a young kidnapped woman, forced into prostitution, set the standard for films, that dealt with such subject matter. Considered ahead of it's time, the film became a cult-classic (among fans of the genre) -- especially dealing with the Lesbianism, as the undertone of the film. She was a "Trend-setter" when it came to wigs, clothing, or anything to do with fashion.

Yet, it was her body of work (not to mention her body), that kept people coming back for more. She was one of Shaw's highest paid actresses, during the late 60's and early 70's. She was an accomplished actress (in every scense of the word) and though she mostly did Dramas (Flower In The Rain, The Lady Professional), she has appeared in everything from Comedies (The Millionaire Chase) to Musicals (Hong Kong Nocturne). It was her versatility as an actress, that kept her career afloat, until she decided to walk away from it all and get married.
