the movie in 1998 made zi yi famous overnite in China.
She was born in beijing.
She wanted to be a dancer, but she can not be good at it.
So she turned to acting, and went to central acting school.
Zhang Yi Mou selected her to play a country girl in the movie.
She had no country living experiences at all.
So she went ahead and lived in the country side for a while before starting to act as a country girl in the movie.

Crouching tiger and hiddern dragon pushed her into international recognition.

She is very selective about the movies she acts in.
She turned down a lot of offers along the way.
