Hu Die in the 1930s
Hu Die is better known to western audiences by the anglicized version of her name, Butterfly Wu. (Hu Die means butterfly!) Her career spanned four decades starting in the silent era, when she was named China’s first “Movie Queen.” She is notable for many reasons, among them for the fact that she starred in the first Chinese sound film in 1931, and was awarded the best actress prize for a later return to screen in Rear Door (1960).
