HONG KONG (February 19, 2012) Today, Madame Tussauds Hong Kong is pleased to announce that it has unveiled the wax figure of the award-winning Chinese actress Fan Bingbing during a special event held at Times Square, Hong Kong.

Joining Ms. Samantha Ko on stage, Mr. Tommy Li, Chairman of Quality Tourism Services Association (QTSA) and Ms. Kelly Mak, General Manager of Madame Tussauds Hong Kong jointly unveiled the wax figure of Ms. Fan Bingbing. With her roles in the award-winning “Bodyguards and Assassins”, “Shaolin”, ”The Founding of a Party” and “Sacrifice”, Fan Bingbing quickly rose to stardom in China and became one of the most popular actresses in the region. Her talent was also recognized when she received the Best Actress Award for her role in “Buddha Mountain” at the 23rd Tokyo International Film Festival in 2010 as well as the 18th Beijing College Student Film Festival in 2011.

Fan Bingbing’s wax figure is styled in the same elegant dragon robe in which she wore to the 2010 Cannes Film Festival and generously donated after.
