My Take
Zhang Yuqi, known to many as Kitty Zhang, intrigues me because her career is anchored to Stephen Chow yet never swallowed by him. CJ7 launched her, The Mermaid welcomed her back, and that recurring trust speaks volumes. What I admire most is her range: she can carry the broad comedy of All About Women and then anchor the gravity of a period epic like Legend of the Demon Cat. Western audiences too often reduce Chinese actresses to glamour, but I see a performer with real tonal control. She is, to my eye, genuinely underrated outside Asia.
