WARNING the picture ur about ta see has NOTHING to do with Li Bing Bing *gasp*

The 32-year-old beauty from Harbin, Heilongjiang, plays the White-haired Demoness Lian Nichang, which was inspired by Ronny Yu’s wuxia (martial arts) film The Bride with White Hair. That movie, made in 1993, was based on Leung Yu Sang’s 1954 novel of the same name and starred Taiwanese star Brigitte Lin Ching Hsia as the titular character.

“I feel very fortunate to have gotten the opportunity to play the Bai Fa Mo Nu (White-haired Demoness) character in the movie,” Li said at an interview in Beijing.

“At first, the White-haired Demoness did not exist in the script. The character was originally Bai Mei Dao Ren (White-browed Taoist priest, a Shaolin martial arts master fictionalised in the late 70s Hong Kong wuxia flicks). Then the script was brought to China, where it was discovered that present wuxia enthusiasts were better acquainted with the White-haired Demoness compared to White-browed Taoist (who is historically often portrayed as a traitor).

“I personally feel that many women viewers would like White-haired Demoness, for she is single-minded in love, unwavering in her convictions, and outstanding in martial arts,” added Li.
