Zhang Jingchu on AllMovie

Renowned for the degree of passion and emotional intensity that she pours into her performances, Chinese actress Zhang Jingchu trained at the famed Central Academy of Drama in Beijing. The actress then transitioned to international roles more or less instantly, in 2005 -- both with Tsui Hark's martial arts saga Seven Swords and with the swashbuckling opus Peacock. In 2007, Zhang played the heartbroken daughter of an assassinated Chinese ambassador in the Jackie Chan/ Chris Tucker action comedy Rush Hour 3.
