Pride of China: Li Bing Bing

High Cheek Bones

If in the past, we have the likes of Lin Dai, Betty Lo Ti, Margaret Tu Chuan and Ling Po, this however is the era of the tall, high nosed, sharp jawed; and high cheek-boned North Chinese actresses.

Captivating and Poised

Li Bing Bing is China's number one treasure.

Animated

She is extraordinary beautiful post-40-no boyfriend and current love affairs in sight- and continues to reach the heights of film-dom, moving into Western cinema with such movies as Snow Flower and Secret Fan, Detective Dee,Resident Evil-Retribution and with the soon to be released Transformers 4.

Sexy

Her best movie to date is that lovey-dovey, "I Do".

Lovable

Some interesting facts of this superstar.

Another sexy pose

Born in Harbin in Heilongjiang in 1973 on 27 February -that winter-land city of wondrous ice sculptures, she is 165 cm and only carries a dainty weight of 47 kg.

Naughty

She not only acts but sings as well.

Oriental Confidence
Interestingly she shares the same zodiac star with me: a Piscean and a Dragon to boot!

Extra Naughty

Lone Survivor-Human and Technology Blind Spots

A Sad Afghanistan Episode
This is a classic true story about bravery amidst hardship in enemy territory (Afghanistan) and the ineffectiveness of modern communication technologies.

Desperate Defense
Marcus Luttrel with a band of navy seals (The Red Wing) targeted the notorious  al Qaeda leader, Ahmad Shahd in late 2005. They apparently made an unwise on the spot decision to follow the international rules of engagement, letting go of their mountain herder prisoners. As expected information of their presence got to the Talibans and they were duly trounced by the Talibans with the sheer possibility of being decapitated if caught as prisoners.

Fear and Horror
The movie showcased the terrifying carnage of modern warfare where life is but a trifling of shattered bones,body parts and more gore and blood.

Bone Shattering Engagement
The movie attracted 2 Academy Award nominations.
