Instantly she had the lead Asian role in his 1985 TV saga Tai-Pan. For more than a decade, Chen was excellent in good movies and amusing in bad ones. In Stanley Kwan's Red Rose, White Rose she is a figure of eros and pathos, driving her lover quietly nuts with her desperate vitality; the turn won her a Hong Kong Film Critics award. Back in the West, she copped a less prestigious prize...
