She enrolled in the Beijing Film Academy Acting Department in 1989. While on vacation in Shanghai from the Academy she was introduced to Wayne Wang and "The Joy Luck Club" production staff, who were on a location scout.

The production brought her to the U.S. for the first time, because the role, although set in China, was shot in entirely in San Francisco.
