Zhao Wei is celebrating her 50th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.
Popular actress-singer Zhao Wei (Red Cliff, Shaolin Soccer, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 50th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.
Zhao, a cultural icon
Born in Wuhu on March 12, 1976, Zhao Wei's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Chinese history. Zhao'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 Wei hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Zhao Wei as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 50.
Happy Birthday, Wei, you're the best!
