When mentioning the "national treasure" of acting from a country of billions of people, everyone assumes that it is Chau Tan. She is one of the rare cases in Cbiz, although she does not possess an extremely beautiful appearance, she has an acting talent that is difficult for any beauty to match.

Chau Tan was born in 1974 in Zhejiang, China , and is one of the cinematic icons of Chinese cinema . Her childhood was filled with deprivation and hardship. Her father was a painter at the cinema, and from an early ag.e, Chau Tan was accustomed to the job of ticket collector. That image was like a mark that shaped her independent and challenging life later on.

At the ag.e of 16, Zhou Xun began her first steps into the entertainment industry by working as a calendar model and starring in her first film, The Lost Tomb. However, the meager salary was not enough to cover her living expenses, forcing her to accept nightly performances at nightclubs. After graduating from high school, she returned to Beijing and officially pursued an acting career with burning determination.

Chau Tan possesses a petite figure, a delicate face and fair ski.n, natural advantages that help her quickly win the hearts of directors and film producers. Although she has not received formal acting training through school, she possesses natural talent, and is known as an "Acting Genius" . This actress is suitable for both historical and modern films, and is also considered by experts to have the most depth in her acting ability among the "Four Great Dans" of her time, namely Zhang Ziyi, Xu Jinglei and Zhao Wei .

Peak reputation from "classic" roles

Since 1994, Chau Tan 's name began to explode when she participated in a series of famous historical drama projects such as Nu Nhi Hong, Dai Minh Cung Tu, Thai Binh Thien Quoc, Anh Hung Xa Dieu... These works not only laid a solid foundation for the actress's reputation in the following years but also deeply engraved her image in the minds of the audience. In particular, her role as Hoang Dung in Anh Hung Xa Dieu is considered a classic, to this day no actress has surpassed it. Writer Kim Dung, the "father" of the work, once commented with praise: "If you have read my story, you will see that Chau Tan acts very well, she is also very beautiful." That compliment is the clearest proof of Chau Tan 's talent and excellent transformation.

After her success in television, Chau Tan turned to cinema and continued to build her name through a series of famous works such as Painted Ski.n, Night Banquet, If You Love, Confucius, Dragon Gate Flying Armor, Wind and Wind, Beggar Su... Her name was firmly affirmed by both the audience and professionals with a series of major titles such as Kim Tuong, Kim Ke, Kim Ma, making her one of the most powerful "movie queens" on Chinese screens .

In 2018, she once again made a big splash at the ag.e of U50 with the TV series Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace , affirming her solid position in the hearts of the public and critics.

Sina newspaper once commented on the actress with sophistication: "More than 20 years since entering the entertainment industry, this actress affirms that she has not changed at all. She is still the gir.l who speaks frankly, without pretense. She works quietly, does not like to show off in the press, so people still say that Chau Tan is an elusive gir.l. Even though the character in her films is a lounge singer or a call gir.l, people can still feel the purity in her."

A love story with ups and downs and unfinished sadness

For more than 20 years in the Chinese entertainment industry, Chau Tan has had a career and a reputation that is at the peak of her fame, the dream of many people. However, behind that halo, the actress has gone through many love affairs with sadness and unfinished business, leaving great hurt in her heart.

In the past, the actress had dated rocker Lu Bang, young master Vuong Phuoc , stylist Ly Dai Te, and especially the love affair that consumed a lot of ink in the press with actor Ly A Bang . Their love story received a lot of attention and support from the public, and it seemed like it would have a happy ending. However, the two could not be together for long when Ly A Bang suddenly abandoned Chau Tan to marry "queen" Vuong Phi. This was a big shoc.k to the actress, causing her to take a long time to recover. Chau Tan once admitted that she was a person who had a hard time in love, when in love she always poured her heart into the other person, because of that she was always the one who suffered more after the breakup.

After many breakups, Chau Tan has gradually become more secretive about her personal love life. She secretly dated Cao Thanh Vien and surprised the audience when she held a simple wedding with him in 2014. However, this marriage was not very passionate and began to fall apart in 2016. The two separated for more than 2 years and moved out to live separately. The reason given was the difficult-to-heal distance that led to many endless arguments. On December 23, they posted the status line: "Wishing you peace" , implicitly confirming that the marriage had officially ended.

In an interview at the beginning of the year about life after the end of her marriage, Chau Tan shared philosophically: "We have to face our worries seriously, look at everything that has happened in life and find a way to balance them. Only when we want to find a path that comes from the heart, will each person definitely form their own way of life to face it...". This is the confession of a person who has experienced many ups and downs, learned to accept and seek peace from deep within.

Many reasons were given for the couple's "going their separate ways" . There was a lot of information and images confirming that Chau Tan's same-sex relationship with Dou Jing Tong - the daughter of Wang Fei - was the cause of the broken marriage. However, the actress refused to give an official response to these rumors, maintaining her usual discreet attitude.

A source said that the actress is currently trying her best to regain her spirit after the shoc.k of her broken marriage. On social networks, many fans also continuously left comments to encourage Chau Tan , hoping that she will soon overcome the difficult period. She expressed her gratitude and sent wishes for health and peace to everyone in 2021. Although her personal life has encountered many challenges, Chau Tan 's talent and dedication to art have always been recognized and admired by the public.
