Shao Xiaoshan - spy?
The Banquet
31 year-old Chinese actress Shao Xiaoshan posted on her microblog that she was forced to act as a "honey trap" for military intelligence since she was 17 years old. She seduced Western embassy officials, including the son of the French ambassador to China in 2007, to gather information. Shao claimed that she no longer wanted to do evil things, authorities no longer paid the cost of living and would not let her emigrate. She risked her life and was not exaggerating. The post was immediately removed and her agent said that it was a result of too much drinking.

I enjoyed "Ocean Heaven". Definitely a different type of movie for Jet Li, but he did a good job. :)
Did you see the NMA animation clip regarding Shao Xiaoshan? Their video clips always crack me up.

I still need to watch Ocean Heaven. I've heard that it was good.
