Gong Li, an Asian actress that has impressed the Western media world with her recent role in the ‘Miami Vice’. I have been all the while captivated by this Chinese actress, even before her venture into Hollywood. She is an uniquely gifted actress who is able to challenge every role that is given to her. Asian spirit remains a place of her heart. Every of her moves and expression conveys all the sophistication of the Oriental soul.
Her earlier films with Zhang Yimou had reinvented Chinese cinema, and gained unprecedented exposure in the West. ‘Raise the Red Lantern’ was the first Chinese film nominated for an Oscar, and Gong spent much of the 1990s being honoured at film festivals around the world. Her recent role in the ‘Geisha’ and ‘Miami Vice’ in 2006 has effortlessly captured the heart of the Western world.
