I don’t know whether it’s because Chinese cold relationship with the U.S, or because of something else, but there’re not much pure Chinese actors and actresses that can gain success in Hollywood’s industry. Most of them who able to breakthrough American movies are usually Hong Kong born or mixed breed, such as Kelly Hu.
Luckily, there is Zhang Ziyi. She might not appeared in many Hollywood’s films, but she still has much popularity in the showbiz, part because of her talent and beauty, and the other from her affairs and personal life.
