Character evaluation

Wu Yin has a deep life foundation and superb acting skills. Her creative attitude is very rigorous and meticulous. She often expresses her own opinions directly and expresses some new ideas. It is generally acknowledged that she is serious in acting and dedicated to her work. She is never satisfied with her creation and always pays attention to starting from life. She often considers the historical background, social environment and personality characteristics when she portrays the characters, so she portrays all kinds of elderly women in all walks of life. Although most of her roles are old women, almost none of them are the same. Through the images of these women, she shows a strong maternal love and deep love for her motherland (comprehensive review of film art, Shanghai Collection and film review).
