Wang moved to California to study medicine. His Christian parents arranged for him to stay with a Quaker family, but they turned out to be prominent radicals whose house was frequented by Black Panthers and Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead. Wang soon abandoned medicine, attending the California College of Arts and Crafts to study film, and married a former Miss Hong Kong, Cora Miao – without telling his parents.

I watched "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" and really liked it. I don't know why, but it seems every critic didn't like it, but people who saw the movie, enjoyed it.

Anyway, it brought back memories of my paternal grandmother (who had bound feet) and I did notice the cameo by Coco Chiang Yi. :)

My only complaint is that Li Bing Bing's character is supposed to be the same age as Jeon Jihyun's character, but she looks older (maybe because I know she's older in real life).

Speaking of Li Bing Bing - did you see this article?

Chinese 'golden spinsters' just can't get hitched Kind of irks me that Shu Qi would still be 'condemned' by people because she was in some soft core movies years ago.

Thanks for the link.

I hope Shu Qi finds a husband that makes her happy. She seems like a nice person that also knows how to have fun.

What confuses me is that Vivian Hsu was also in some 'revealing' movies early in her career, but people don't seem to bring that up (at least not very often).

Well, if people still condemn Tang Wei, all she has to do is go to another country and guys will be lined up to marry her (me included!). LOL!

Perhaps so but I am waiting for the official word--the big-head cartoons of them playing nice.

I'll certainly keep my eyes out for them!
