Fan Bingbing Cherishes Memories of the Past

The actress, previously known for her classic beauty look in a variety of commercials is drawing more and more attention for her gradually convincing performances on the big screen.

Three of her latest works including the romance comedy "Sophie's Revenge", spy thriller "East Wind Rain" and action movie "Bodyguards and Assassins" will soon hit the theatres.

Audiences then will have chance to score this industrious actress in a multifaceted range of roles against stars like popular actress Zhang Ziyi, veteran actor Liu Yunlong, and Kung Fu star Donnie Yen Chi-Tan.

The actress, who has busy work schedule, keeps a very low key private life and is seldom caught hanging out with others.

About Wang Xuebing, the only rumored ex-boyfriend Fan hasn't denied, Fan said that was very fond memory for her. She openly said she had thought about marriage, but did not know if it suits her.

Fan hinted that if one day she cuts back on her work and only takes up one or two films in a year, she is probably in love.

Actress Fan Bing Bing Graces Elle Magazine

Fan Bingbing is the glamorous cover girl on the June issue of Elle's Chinese version.

The cover story, titled 'precious woman', takes the actress as an example for women to "find their own glamour, instead of relying on men."

Fan Bingbing shot to stardom at 17 after her role as a loyal maid in the 1998 hit series 'Princess Returning Pearl'. Over the following decade she was plagued by negative gossips. Initially she defended herself, but has since chosen to keep quiet.

"I want to prove to everyone that persistency leads to success," she says in the interview.

Since then Fan has maintained a steady output on both the small and silver screens. She was named 'Best Actress' at Chinese mainland's Baihua film awards in 2004 and Taiwan's Golden Horse awards in 2007.

The siren launched her own studio in 2007 and produced the hit serial 'Yan Zhi Xue', or 'Rogue Snow'.

The studio's second project, 'The Last Night of Madam Chin', is in post production and will be aired at the end of the year.

The 28-year-old actress, currently shooting the action thriller 'Bodyguards and Assassins', will enjoy big exposure in cinemas this year. Altogether seven films starring Fan are set to be released, a record for a Chinese actress. The releases include 'Shinjuku Incident' and 'Sophie's Revenge'.

"As you grow older, you will feel both life and time are fleeting," she says, "so enjoy your life with full strength."
