Mainland Chinese actress Bai Jing was murdered in an apparent murder/suicide by her husband Zhou Chenghai, a billionaire stock market/properties businessman. The couple had been fighting due to divorce escalations. The rumor mill is that Bai Jing and her Triad boyfriend hired a prostitute to seduce Zhou Chenghai to get grounds for divorce and to get 20 million yuan ($4 million) from him. The news of this allegedly caused Zhou’s mother to die (!) so he went nuts and stabbed her. How much of that is true I do not know, hopefully we get some answers.
Bai Jing was not well known in the West, but was becoming a rising star with small roles in Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon (the only film of hers I have seen) and Kung Fu Wing Chun (a film so not funny I stopped watching it 30 mins into), but she had a bigger career on TV and was one of China’s best-known female kung-fu stars.
