She also loves the cigars, which are, she concedes, nothing but excessive phallic symbols to be smoked with high-roller abandon. But what Zhu likes best are the sexy, well-honed bodies out on the disco floor. "The pickings are best right here," Zhu says, exhaling puffs of Montecristo smoke.

That was back in 1974, when they were young Red Guards tilling the unforgiving earth in remote Gansu province. "We got married for convenience," says Zhu. "Now I get to live my life for myself." She sips her bordeaux and crooks a finger at a well-muscled specimen circling the bar.
