There are many actors who are good at kung fu in China's film and television industry, especially the famous Hong Kong actors Donnie Yen, Jet Li, Sammo Hung and Bruce Lee, etc., who make many foreigners' first impression of Chinese is "all kung fu".
The Chinese nation has inherited thousands of years of cultural heritage, among which martial arts also occupy an important position. So which Chinese actresses have real kung fu skills?
When many people first meet Huang Qiuyan, they will think of her as Jet Li's ex-wife, and then pay attention to her performance in film and television dramas such as "Shaolin Kid" and "North and South Shaolin". However, in fact, Huang Qiuyan is not an ordinary person.
Although she did not come from a martial arts family, Huang Qiuyan actually dabbled a little. Her father was a dancer, and both dance and martial arts were extremely physically demanding, so for some historical reasons, they decided to let Huang Qiuyan train in martial arts.
Huang Qiuyan went to Beijing Shichahai Sports School to study martial arts, which also happened to be where Jet Li studied, although the two had not yet met at the time.
In the sports school, Jet Li is known for his extraordinary performance and many honors, but Huang Qiuyan's performance in the sports school is not inferior to him.
At the age of 11, Huang Qiuyan began to learn martial arts at a sports school, and she successfully entered the professional team in just two years. She excelled in Snake Fist and Red Tassel Spear, and won first place in the Pro team in both events.
Her performances in those well-known martial arts movies did not rely on posing and stand-ins, but showed real kung fu strength, so many shots seemed extremely real.
Huang Qiuyan originally had the potential to become a better martial arts actress, but she was defeated by Jet Li.
Childhood sweethearts Huang Qiuyan and Jet Li have been friends for many years, and they later became a couple. For the sake of her family, Huang Qiuyan gave up her career, but in the end she became a victim because Jet Li had new feelings for Li Zhi.
The 62-year-old Huang Qiuyan has not only lost her career, but also her love and family, and has now settled in the United States to enjoy retirement.
Although "The Thief Family" is a comedy, the two heroines Hu Huizhong and Li Saifeng both show good martial arts, and they are both "peerless stunners".
Many viewers will be surprised when they see Li Saifeng's face, because this delicate and beautiful face seems to have nothing to do with martial arts, but they didn't expect her to be so powerful.
Li Saifeng was also recognized in the process of learning dance, and her excellent dancing skills caught the attention of Hong Kong director Siu Hsien-fai, which led to her entry into the film and television industry and began to appear in films. In this new field, Li Saifeng met another person who helped her.
After Xu Xiaoming entered the film and television industry, he was attracted by Li Saifeng, so he accepted her as an apprentice. Maybe many people are not familiar with Xu Xiaoming's name, but the famous "Huo Yuanjia" is his work.
Xu Xiaoming personally taught martial arts to Li Saifeng, and after 4 years, Li Saifeng began to set foot in the field of martial arts films. She co-starred with Jackie Chan in "Weilong Detective", as well as her solo starring "Yue Nu Sword" and other works have been widely acclaimed.
For 15 years, Li Saifeng took on the title of "Hong Kong's No. 1 Martial Arts Actress" in the 80s. She is loved by everyone, not only because of her martial arts skills, but also because of her sweet and beautiful appearance.
At that time, after Hu Huizhong starred in "Overlord Flower", her status suddenly leaped and became another goddess with both appearance and martial arts, on par with Li Saifeng.
Unlike Li Saifeng, Hu Huizhong did not accept the guidance of a professional master, but honed his martial arts through actual combat.
Hu Huizhong grew up with Tang Chongsheng, a childhood sweetheart, since he was a child, and the relationship between them gradually sublimated from friends to lovers. However, Tang Chongsheng actually hides an unknown identity, and that is the leader of the gang.
Tang Chongsheng has been wandering in society since he was a child, making acquaintances with a large group of like-minded people, often participating in fierce fights and fights, and Hu Huizhong often fights with them.
Hu Huizhong was later invited to participate in the Taiwanese movie "Huan Yan", and unexpectedly, she won the Golden Horse Award after never acting experience, and became famous in one fell swoop.
It wasn't until they met the superstar Sammo Hung that people began to understand Hu Huizhong's kung fu. Since then, she has frequently starred in similar literary films and won many awards.
Sammo Hung discovered Hu Huizhong's potential when directing "Lucky Stars" and invited her to star with Jackie Chan, thus making Hu Huizhong a high-profile martial arts actress in Hong Kong.
Under Sammo Hung's leadership, Hu Huizhong explored the field of martial arts in depth, but the danger of martial arts itself almost ruined the second half of Hu Huizhong's life.
When Hu Huizhong was filming "Demon Hunters" in 1989, he participated in a prop ** scene and jumped from the third floor. Despite the safety mat placed underneath, he was unfortunately caught by an accidental flame, which caused him to catch fire all over his body.
After suffering from severe burns, Hu Huizhong went through expensive surgeries and transplants to finalize. Now, she has said goodbye to the film industry;And Li Saifeng returned to the dance class he founded. These two "goddesses of martial arts" retired successfully.
It is a kind of luck to meet nobles, and Stephen Chow's movie "Kung Fu" completely changed the fate of Yuan Hua and Yuan Qiu, who have played roles for many years but have never become famous.
Yuan Qiu is a powerful charter wife, she and kung fu superstars Yuan Hua, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and others are out of the same school, together to form the "Seven Little Blessings" group, showing extraordinary martial arts.
Since he was a child, Yuan Qiu has studied martial arts with his father. However, he did not learn to be proficient in martial arts, let alone to fight with others, but to perform Peking Opera on stage and earn money.
In 1959, Yu Zhanyuan took in many apprentices, and he helped them master the martial arts through words and deeds, and these people later became known as the "Seven Little Blessings", and Yuan Qiu was one of them.
Although Yuan Qiu and Yuan Hua are both strong in martial arts, they have never been able to make a name for themselves after entering the film and television industry, or they have not found a suitable stage to show themselves. However, the appearance of Stephen Chow completely changed their fate.
It is not unreasonable to be promoted by many directors, she would rather give up everything when filming, so some people call her "the female version of Jackie Chan".
At the age of 14, Hui Yinghong studied under Master Hongquan and was accepted as a goddaughter by director Zhang Che. With Zhang Che's support, she began to appear in martial arts dramas with a salary of 500 yuan per month. It all happened in 1974.
Hui Yinghong is not only proficient in martial arts, but also "dares to work hard" when filming, and soon won Liu Jialiang's appreciation. Under his guidance, Hui Yinghong starred in martial arts dramas with her true colors and won the first Academy Award in history.
Hui Yinghong developed other kung fu on the basis of Hong Quan and applied them to film and television dramas to add realism to the work.
Unfortunately, Hui Yinghong was seriously injured in her later years to shoot martial arts scenes, and since then she has announced that she will no longer be involved in such scenes.
Jackie Chan's movie "Zodiac" made Zhang Lanxin famous in one fell swoop, and the audience was amazed by her slender ** and difficult movements, and her true identity was even more shocking!
Zhang Lanxin, who was born in 1986, participated in the national taekwondo competition at the age of 18 and won the national championship in the 55kg class.
Zhang Lanxin is 177 cm tall and began to engage in modeling after retiring. After being photographed by Jackie Chan, she participated in the movie "Zodiac", which is her ** work, and won the Academy Award and the Hundred Flowers Award in one fell swoop.
Jackie Chan has publicly praised Zhang Lanxin's kung fu many times, praised her as a person worthy of being a taekwondo champion, and is very satisfied with her.
Strictly speaking, Michelle Yeoh is not a Chinese national, she was born in Malaysia and has not settled in China, so she cannot be classified as Chinese. She only gained popularity in Hong Kong.
Michelle Yeoh, the daughter of a wealthy family, is not only a beauty pageant champion, but also good at kung fu, which can be described as both civil and military. She was beaten all over blue and purple during the filming of martial arts scenes, but she had no complaints.
Michelle Yeoh skillfully used almost all traditional Chinese cold weapons in the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", showing superb skills.
Michelle Yeoh is now the wife of the Ferrari president and lives a life of extreme luxury.
Mentioning this name, many people may not immediately think of who she is, she is the hostess of the Qinglou who was scolded by Stephen Chow in the movie "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance".
Although Zheng Peipei was outstanding in her appearance when she was young, she did not become a household name for her beauty like Maggie Cheung and Brigitte Lin, because she starred in kung fu movies.
Zheng Peipei has participated in kung fu films many times, and as early as 1969, she was praised as a recognized "martial arts actress" by the newspapers at the time, but she chose to give up her career because of love, and her subsequent performance was not outstanding.
Action movies have always been popular, but nowadays there are very few actors with real martial arts prowess, and most rely on stand-ins or tricks to do it.
In everyone's mind, there are very few really powerful actresses, they are good at kung fu performances, who do you think is the best?
