Bai Ling Biography
Lea acerca de Bai Ling en Espaņol
Big, meaning "white spirit/light" admits to being a shy child. Born in the People's Republic of China, her parents led a difficult life because of their occupation. Her father was a teacher and her mother was a stage actor and dancer. Soon after she was born, her parents ran into trouble with the authorities and Ling was sent to Szechwan to live with her grandmother.

In the latter film, she co-starred with fellow Asian Chow Yun-Fat and two time Oscar-winner, Jodie Foster The film required her to shave all her long black silky hair off.
