I’ve been a casual fan of lots of c-drama & HK cinema celebrities, but the list of people I’ve obsessed over is actually not long. And I think I definitely have a type! The actresses I fixate on tend to fall into the “sweet, sexy, and bold” 甜美性感大方 category, and they all have very wide smiles. The actors all fall into the “traditional and balanced” 周正 category. It seems like both types reached peaked popularity in the 80s & 90s. I guess I’m an old soul 😅

Cherie Chung, Brigitte Lin, and Sally Yeh in Peking Opera Blues (1986). Pamela Bruce wrote in the Austin Chronicle "The trio spends the entire narrative – which often abruptly shifts from farcical to violent, to touching and suspenseful moods, amazingly without interfering with the smoothness of its trajectory – bounding back and forth between the hotbeds of deception and betrayal in culture and politics: the rich, colorful world of the theatre and the heavily guarded domain of the palace."
