Zhao Wei is one of the most influential Chinese actresses in the world. She is the only person who has won Best Actress, Most Popular Actress and Best Singer awards from film, TV and music industries.

The recent announcement that famous Chinese actress Vicki Zhao Wei had divorced her husband Huang Youlong years ago has sparked a heated discussion on why she revealed the news at the time she did.

Zhao was effectively blacklisted for "having misdeeds" by the Chinese authorities in 2021, with all the TV series and films she took part in being removed from the internet.
