Actress Zhao Wei is on the cover of Rich & Famous magazine’s January issue.

Zhao Wei became a household name in China for her role as Princess Pearl in the Qing Dynasty soap opera ‘huang zhu ge ge’ or ‘Return of Princess Pearl’. One of her more interesting roles was in Zhang Yuan’s story of gay Beijing ‘East Palace West Palace’.
This month’s letter from the publisher, Shen Qing, has a nice line about Beijing and Shanghai:
” A friend says Shanghai is a lover, you love and you hate her. Beijing is a drug; even though you know it’s screwing you up, you just can’t leave.”
