This photograph was taken during the promotional period for the film *The Grandmaster*. Chen Man was deeply inspired by Zhang Ziyi’s portrayal of Gong Er, a character known for her exceptional martial arts skills, and sought to convey the inner strength of Chinese kung fu through the image. She chose to use a hand-painted dragon as the backdrop and dressed Zhang Ziyi in a specially designed wool cheongsam that exudes elegance while embodying the resilience of a martial artist. With a fan lightly covering her face, Zhang strikes a pose that perfectly blends the power of her martial arts with the grace and tenderness of femininity.
