Tao Hong
Born in Wuxi, Jiangsu, in 1972, Tao Hong is a Chinese actress trained at the Central Academy of Drama who became one of the defining faces of Sixth-Generation and post-Sixth-Generation Chinese cinema. She broke through with the ensemble comedy Spicy Love Soup (1997) and confirmed her range in Zhang Yang s bathhouse fable Shower (1999) and Feng Xiaogang s A Sigh (2000). She has since alternated auteur cinema with well-chosen television dramas, playing intelligent, everyday women rather than glamour icons. Married to Xu Zheng, she has kept a comparatively low-key public profile while remaining a respected working actress across three decades.
