...social call punctuated Hu's banner year after taking over China's presidency from Jiang Zemin. At home, Hu fashions himself as a uniquely accessible Communist Party leader concerned with the plight of common folk--far different from Jiang, who seemed most comfortable in his glitzy Shanghai hometown. Ordinary Chinese welcome Hu's pledge to raise stagnant peasant incomes, his firing of officials for covering up last year's SARS epidemic and his ban on ostentatious airport send-offs for traveling dignitaries. At the same time, he has hobnobbed with leaders of capitalist nations at G-8 meetings and pressured...
...truth is, there's not much downtime for Lau these days. Since the filming of Daggers ended in January, he's already co-starred in a Hong Kong triad movie, Jiang Hu, which is set for release in the territory at the end of this month. He's also busy running his relaunched production and management company, Focus, after previous production efforts with several partners in the '90s bombed.

...match, the guy and, in the film's last scene, the cover of TIME. In My Dream Girl, a ripoff of Pygmalion, she's a ragamuffin (but still quite a muffin) who elevates silliness into a showcase for urchin charm. She ranged further in two films she made with Jiang Wen: He Ping's Warriors of Heaven and Earth, a Crouching Tiger wannabe with Zhao as a general's rebellious daughter; and Zhang Yuan's Green Tea, in which she plays two roles, a mousy student and a sexy pianist. Now she's gone to broody melodrama...
