Joan Chen (born April 26, 1961) is a Chinese American actress, film director, screenwriter, and film producer.

Early life

Chen was born in Shanghai, to a family of pharmacologists.^[1] She and her older brother, Chase, were raised during the Cultural Revolution. At the age of 14, Chen was discovered on the school rifle range by Jiang Qing, the wife of leader Mao Zedong and major Chinese Communist Party figure for excelling at marksmanship. This led to her being selected for the Actors' Training Program by the Shanghai Film Studio in 1975, where she was discovered by veteran director Xie Jin who chose her to star in his 1977 film Youth ({{zh|c=青春|p=Qīngchūn}})^[2] as a deaf mute whose senses are restored by an Army medical team. Chen graduated from high school a year in advance, and at the age of 17 entered the prestigious Shanghai International Studies University, where she majored in English.^[3]

Career

Chen performed alongside Tang Guoqiang in Zhang Zheng's ({{zh|c=张铮}}) Little Flower ({{zh|c=小花|p=Xiǎo Huā}}) in 1979, for which she won the Hundred Flowers Award ({{zh|c=百花奖|p=Bǎi Huā Jiǎng}}). Chen portrayed a pre-Maoist revolutionary's daughter, who, reunited with her brother, a wounded Communist soldier, later learned that his doctor was her biological mother. Little Flower was her second film and she soon achieved the status of China's most loved actress; she was dubbed "the Elizabeth Taylor of China" by Time magazine for having achieved stardom while still a teenager.^[2]

In addition, Chen was in the 1979 film Hearts for the Motherland ({{zh|c=海外赤子|p=Hǎiwài Chìzǐ}}). The film directed by Ou Fan ({{zh|c=欧凡}}) and Xing Jitian ({{zh|c=邢吉田}}) depicts an overseas Chinese family that returns to China from southeast Asia out of their patriotic feelings but encounter political troubles during the Cultural Revolution.
