Gong Li is celebrating her 60th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress Gong Li (Hannibal Rising, Memoirs of a Geisha, Raise the Red Lantern, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 60th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Gong, a cultural icon

Born in Shenyang on December 31, 1965, Gong Li's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Singaporean history. Gong's not just a great actress, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Li hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Gong Li as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 60.

Happy Birthday, Li, you're the best!
