Chinese Lives

Tang Wei has her name known in film circle home and abroad at an age of 27, and she deserves the fame certainly because of her brave acting in Ang Lee’s latest filmwork Lust ,Caution, in which she exposes herself nude and acts violent sex scene with famous Hong Kong actor Tony Leung.

For Tang Wei, she has waited for so long this chance, and When it comes, she grabs it. 2007 is meaningful to her.

The last Friday of 2007 in West Calendar is entertaining and meaningful to Chinese internet users, because a brave or controless tv hostess tells the whole world that her husband is having an affair at CCTV’s Olympic Channel launch ceremony.

She approaches the podium and requires to speak as the wife of Zhang Bin, who is hosting the ceremony, that only 2 hours ago does she know Zhang Bin has a secret lover. Certainly the confession has excited every reporters there. Her husband and other two collegues try to stop her but fail.

This incident triggers off internet attention of Zhang Bin, Hu Ziwei and the secret lover, but for unkown reason posts are deleted by website administrator if they appear to know the inside story.

Sources say after losing her fame and position in work, Zhang bin’s disloyalty is the last straw.
