Cosmopolitan April 2007
How do you view yourself?
If you say I am just a vase, thank you for praising. That is an acknowledgement of my exterior looks. Your voice is too sweet. Then I’ll change it. Give me some time. You are lucky. Others happen to look me up. In time people would recognize me.
Is it tough to always smile?
No. That is my personality originally. It is more loveable for girls to be gentle. I speak slowly and it is easier to be understood. I have to communicate with others while working. It is better to be lively and open. This industry slowly changes me from my shyness.
If there is chance to be another Lin Zhi Ling, how would she be?
Acutally I like my present looks. If possible, I would want to be a bit more rebellious, have more conflicts, be a bit braver!
Do you lose your temper? How do you deal with it usually?
Yes, very often. (laughs) When my mood is bad, I try to ignore it because life tells me that it would pass. This is the more manly side to my character. I could hold back my anger.
What kind of love do you look forward to?
Even if a person’s qualities are better, it would not compare with two persons understanding each other, being caring towards each other, experience things together and grow together. I feel that that is the only way to maintain warmth.
When would a lady win? Is winning a man enough?
Getting married and have kids is what I want to win most. But it is to win myself. When do you consider winning a guy – with black and white (contract)? Without love, people part ways. Winning and losing doesn’t mean much.
What is it that you want most now that you couldn’t achieve?
Man. Like traveling, getting married…my life is like an escalator. It is speeding and I don’t know where it will end. Perhaps one day I open the door and it would fall. And at that time, I would be able to be the original Lin zhi Ling and do things that I have never had time to do.
(Sigh…I could feel her pressure already.)
The rest of the article is the reporter describing her work and her defense that John Woo chose her for Battle of Red Cliff and she would do her best.
The last paragraph.
Fighting Alone
“In the past I used to be very introvert. I love to cry. When I cry, I would look up and my tears would not fall. When I want to cry, I would immerse my face into the water and even if I cry louder, no one could hear it. I cry a bit and the eyes would be clearer and would feel a bit more clean and the worries would pass.”
“After looking at the clouds, my mood would be a bit better. After a bath, mom would call me nonstop. I would continue to wash. In the bathtub, that is really your world. It is very quiet, a world that belongs to you. The warmth of the ater is very special. It’s like us looking at the pond water, the surface of the water is very calm. How deep is it? Just like us, even if we have many moods, on the surface we have to remain calm.”
