XUN ZHOU is one of Asia's most acclaimed and admired actresses and the only Chinese actress to have won all the major Chinese-language film awards, including China's Hundred Flowers Awards, the Hong Kong Film Awards and Hong Kong's Golden Bauhinia Awards, Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards, and Asian Film Awards, among others. Her performances have made her a household name in greater China and earned her many accolades abroad.
She has performed in art house classics such as "Suzhou River," "The Little Chinese Seamstress" and "The Equation of Love & Death," to such blockbuster hits as "Perhaps Love," with Takeshi Kaneshiro, Shakespeare's "The Banquet," starring Ziyi Zhang, "Painted Skin," with Donnie Yen, "The Message," and "Confucius," with Chow Yun-Fat.
Zhou appeared alongside Michelle Yeoh in "True Legend" and completed filming on "The Flying Swords of Dragon Gate," with Jet Li, and "The Great Magician," with Tony Leung.
Zhou has become a champion for the environment and the Earth, pioneering "green living" in China. In 2008, she was appointed United Nations Development Program's (UNDP) first national Goodwill Ambassador and initiated "Our Part," an environmental awareness campaign to influence China's youth. For her continued efforts, UNDP honored her with the Champions of the Earth Award in April 2010. She was the only female award winner of the year, and the first winner from the entertainment industry.
In 2011, Zhou was elected as one of the Young Global Leaders by World Economic Forum and spoke at the Summer Davos in Dalian, China.
