The Malaysian(马来西亚的) actress Michelle Yeoh is already in her sixties. However, you might see her differently once you read about her story.
Yeoh entered show business in the 1980s. After winning Miss Malaysia, she started to do movies with Jack Chen and Jet Li. At that time, most female characters in movies were women who needed protection. Yeoh wanted to do what men did, like jumping off the motorbike onto speedy trains. The martial arts(武术)moves were difficult, but Yeoh managed to pick them up. Slowly, she became a pioneering female action star.
After gaining popularity in Asia, Yeoh got calls from Hollywood. She called it a “dream come true”. However, people in Hollywood cared little about the world beyond. “Minority”(少数民族)actors and actress were unfairly treated. Yeoh tried to make a difference. Her first Hollywood movie was Tomorrow Never Dies, of the James Bond series. The actress completely changed the image(形象) of what a “Bond Girl” could be. In the movie, her character saved 007’s life, instead of waiting to be saved. The man and woman were seen as equals.
In Everything Everywhere All at Once(瞬息全宇宙), Yeoh was finally given the best role. In fact, the role was written for a man. But the movie creator rewrote it for Yeoh. The actress has been highly praised for her performance in the movie. After bagging many other rewards, Yeoh won this year’s Oscar for Best Actress on March 13. It is the first time that an Asian actress had received this major reward.
The actress spent forty years fighting her ways to the peak(巅峰)of her career. Now she is being “seen” by the whole world, finally.
