My Take
Xu Jiao fascinates me because of how her career began. As a child she played a boy in Stephen Chow's CJ7 and walked off with the Hong Kong Film Award for Best New Performer, a staggering early peak. What interests me far more is what comes after such a start. Plenty of child stars vanish, but Xu has reached toward directing, stepping behind the camera rather than simply chasing roles. That shift hints at a genuine love of cinema rather than mere fame. I respect performers who refuse to be defined by their childhood spotlight and keep searching for their own voice.
