Despite all the hullaballoo surrounding Disney’s live-action Mulan, the movie propelled Chinese actress Crystal Liu into the global limelight and cemented her status as one of China’s most iconic actresses.

Thanks to her angelic looks and huge success in career, she is also a gem in the commercial world. As early as 2009, Liu was crowned one of China’s four most bankable actresses, a clear indicator of her having ‘made it.’

The 36-year-old star once quipped she's the "ugliest in her family", which led netizens to rave about how women in her family had struck the genetic lottery.
