Hairstylist David Gan refused Zhang Ziyi's offer to set up shop in Beijing, because he doesn't want to leave Singapore I'll never leave my galaxy of friends By Chang May Choon March 12, 2007 CELEBRITY hairstylist David Gan once grumbled to Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi about managing his own hair salon. He even told her he felt like quitting. According to him, Ziyi said: 'Then close shop and follow me around. Come to Beijing, I'll open a big salon for you.'
