[edit]Biography
Born on December 4, 1946 in Shanghai, China, Zheng Peipei's beginnings were quite different from other female celebrities. She has always emphasized that she is a Shanghainese who studied ballet and came to Hong Kong in 1960. She joined the South China Experimental Theatre Company in 1963 as a graduate of the second phase and joined Shaw Brothers Film Company after graduation. She made her film debut in "The Po Lin Lamp" (1963), her first film in her life, in which she played a male role. In the same year, she made her film debut as the lead in the literary film Lover's Stone (1963), which made her famous, and for which she won the International Independent Producers Association's Golden Samurai Award. As she was the first Asian actress to receive this award, she was considered to be the best and most promising of all the film industry's up-and-coming actresses at the time. Shaw intended to emphasize Zheng Pei Pei's youthful innocence and girl-next-door demeanor, and before performing in The Drunken Warrior, she was supposed to take part in a beauty pageant, but starring in Hu Jinquan's film changed the course of her acting career. She made more than twenty films at Shaw's***, all of which were martial arts films, except for six films such as The Lover's Stone and Night of the Fragrant Moon and Flowers, of which the famous ones are The Great Drunken Warrior (1966), The Golden Swallow (1968) and The Jade Rakshasa (1968). As she had considerable attainments in ballet music and classical Chinese dance, she acted in martial arts movies with agile hands and wonderful postures. In 1965, Shaw Brothers started shooting "The Great Drunken Warrior", and initially intended to cast Christina Xiao in the role of Golden Swallow; however, the director, Mr. Hu Jinquan, thought that Zheng Pei Pei's dance background was suitable for the rhythm required by the fighting scenes in the film, and so he asked her to audition for the role. The performance was a real sensation, and from then on, her star was on the rise. In 1969, she was voted "Queen of Martial Arts Movie" by the press. In 1971, after completing "Zhong Kui Niang Zi", she retired from acting, got married and had a child, divorced her husband in 1978, and returned to Hong Kong in 1992 to continue her acting career, and in recent years, she has mainly worked on TV dramas in Mainland China, winning the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Supporting Actress and the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as "The Fox with the Blue Eyes" in Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in 2001. In 2001, her role in Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" as "Bee-eyed Fox" won her the Hong Kong Film Awards' Best Supporting Actress Award and an Academy Award, adding to her career success. Her daughter, Marsha, is also an actress. Representative works: "The Drunken Warrior", "Golden Swallow", "Night of the Flowering Moon", "Lover's Stone", "Tong Pak Fu Points Out Autumn Incense", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", etc.
